Considering that the starting pay is $13.04/hr with max of about $20/hr, the increase doesn’t appear to be going where it needs to.

The proposed increase is ridiculous. The addition of all those thousands of new houses should cover any needed fire stations. When was the last audit? And done by whom?
We don't have a "city" budget. We don't need any audits - right? We don't need to be questioning a 300% increase. We just need to get our checks out and pay it. I have never seen so many people who just seem to want to pay a 300% tax!
