Recall supporters
The recall effort was organized by Tanner Greenough, a former Hamilton County paramedic. County commissioners voted in December 2017 to replace the Hamilton County EMS with part-time paramedics. Greenough accused Kremer of misleading the public over claims that the change would not impact response times of emergency medical services in the county.[3]
Recall opponents
Kremer said his vote was about spending county tax dollars in a fiscally sound manner.[3]
