Vote against PV fire district

| October 16, 2008 9:00 PM

Just want to remind the Paradise Valley voters about the tax-based fire house vote. Again take a good look at Naples fire department. Example: Voter turnout less than 50 percent.

I think if there was a re-vote now, the answer would be 'no.' Tactics. If you don't vote 'yes,' we will give you thousands of dollars worth of bills for not being a member.

Bottom line, volunteer fire departments cannot give people bills. Again you will not vote on any in-house money issues again. Beware of salaries, some people just milk the system.

How about this, go back to the table. Have a five-year plan to buy equipment then get out of the taxpayers' pocket. Can of worms - money pit, ring a bell. Please think about it.
