Wharton said where any state or federal funding is concerned, it must be done through the Kosciusko County Commissioners. A special township levy in the four townships making up Multi-Township EMS will be assessed, according to law, for initial funding for the project. Wharton said it was his hope that the service would become countywide eventually and that townships with their own EMS units, funded with voluntary contributions, would see the wisdom of joining into a county effort eventually.
