A serious incident agree, but how in the world does that tie to a 300% raise in fire taxes ?Wouldn't any fire fighter do the same in any city, it would have nothing to do with tax base. Isn't the villages growing and growing and bringing in MORE money to be spent on fire protection ? Again, the logic is not there: ANY city anywhere that is growing at a good pace does not need to triple the tax rate, don't "they" understand that the growth will support a new station and employees as needed ?
