||| FROM JOHN ERLY |||


THE FIRE LEVY:  It is still “NO”!!  You have basically the same folks presenting this Levy. The world will not come to an end, if we wait for newly elected Commissioners and possibly a new Chief to put together some new ideas.

The new commissioners are going to have to answer two basic questions.  (1) Are we still a voluntary Fire Department or are we turning into a paid department? (2) I believe all our rolling stock is housed under cover.  This should extend the life of our equipment, age should not be the major consideration, milage and condition are more important.

Please let new eyes and thoughts decide what kind of Levy we need in 2024.
