. Good evening to everyone. So today we proudly recognize our July veterans of the month. Herman Bud Ehrenberg, whose extraordinary lifetime of service to our nation and our community stands as a true example of dedication and courage. Bud volunteered to serve during the Korean War in 1951 and flew more than 50 combat missions as a rear gunner with the United States Air Force's 13th Bomb Squadron. For his heroism, during the dangerous mission under heavy enemy fire, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross along with other military honors. After returning home, Bud dedicated 43 years to Bergen County as a superintendent mosquito control. He has also served the Paramus Volunteer Fire Department for nearly 60 years, including as its fire chief. His family's commitment to service continues through his son and grandsons who have served as police officers, firefighters, and members of the United States military and now Space Force. Bud, thank you so much for your service to our country and community. Congratulations on being named Bergen County's Veteran Month of July. Thank you. So, Bud, we have a certificate from the board in honor of heartfelt recognition of being awarded Bergen County Veter an of a Month. On behalf of the nearly 1 million residents of Bergen County, we express our utmost gratitude for your dedicated service to our nation and being an active member of our community. And also, we have a treat. Thank you. Dear Mr. Herman Bud Ehrenberg, on behalf of the State [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]

Thank you. When you're in the at New Bridge Medical Center. I didn't want to come to the follow-up appointments, and when I went there, I sat in the office with the psychiatrist for the follow-up appointment, and I just said, "I'm not answering any of your questions. I'm exercising my right to remain silent." And because I did that, and only that, I was brought to the emergency room again, and I was locked up for another two weeks. So even though mental health professionals say they're only locking people up when they're a danger to themselves and others, sometimes mad people get locked up just for exercising their constitutional rights. As Bergen County Commissioner, I would fight for the rights of mad people, and I would make sure that New Bridge Medical Center's psych system doesn't use coercion against them. Thank you. Mr. Farish. Thank you, Chairman Tonelli. Farish, F-A-R-S-H. I'm from Emerson. So since I spoke last time, it's been brought to my attention. I was shown a copy of a bill, an invoice, from two different ambulance services for the same transport of a patient who had pneumonia, about three and a half miles. No blood involved, no catastrophic accident. Apparently, the paramedics put electrocardiogram sensors on , took blood pressure, and heart rate, oxygen levels, and that's all they did. They added an oxygen mask and apparently accompanied the patient to the hospital. The bill for that three and a half miles was $5,670- something. I used to drive an ambulance [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]
