COTTONWOOD:     WTVY Ken Curtis is trying to sensationalize his headlines.

There is not a million dollars unaccounted for in Cottonwood Rescue. And the $ 155,000.00 mentioned is being accounted for.

In late 2017 when I took over Cottonwood Rescue there was no money. From 2017 to 2021 the primary funding came from the business Stokes operated in order for EMS coverage.

All questions will be answered and I am not worried.

And Cottonwood Rescue funds did not go to pay for a pickup.

The 130 square miles of Houston County covered by Cottonwood Rescue, of which 122 square miles is in the unincorprated areas of Houston County, had EMS coverage for decades because of Penny Quattlebaum. And when she closed it Stokes took over.

But people do not volunteer like they once did. And Stokes had to let his businesses help Cottonwood Rescue operate.

So as Ken Curtis likes to sensationalize, one thing is for sure, Rickey Stokes put his business money where his mouth was to make sure there was EMS coverage in the Cottonwood Rescue response area.

More to come.
