Why? Why <br />doesn’t the current fire dpt structure work? What are the facts? <br />2). Who is going to pay for this? Our TAXES? My property taxes <br />went up over 30% last year, and another 20-25% this year. That <br />is CRAZY, and several people I talk with feel they will be taxed <br />right out of their homes. Very sad to think that we need to put <br />these extreme taxes on our community. AND, without even <br />understanding why. I have to believe that our taxes wil go UP <br />more with this new department, which no one can tell us is <br />deathly necessary. <br />3) I believe our local gov needs to come clean. It seems there <br />are things done w/ no explanation to our residents. We should <br />not feel that way, this should be a COMMUNITY. <br />THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. <br />Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser.
