Private transport firms report job losses
After just one year in business, the Toledo Fire Department's basic life-support ambulances have transported 8,580 patients to local hospitals and generated a little more than $1 million for the city's general operating fund.

"The city has no business getting into the private sector."
Unless of course, there is profit in the city owned business,
