Michael Baldwin - I caused a major change to EMS volunteer response operations in NYS in 1994. Tired of a flashing Green/Blue light, stuck at a traffic signal as a baby choked...I used my political skill to affect change. I first reached out to (then) and now the late NYS Senator Pat McGee. She heard me, understood me and jumped into action with instructions. She directed the matter to an attorney for the DMV. This was the response: (below)Within a few months of debate, New York agreed with me that volunteer EMS needed to arrive at the scene of a life-saving event...a tad quicker. I am a Dem...Pat was a Rep.---we worked together for the community good. (God, I miss those days).
