As I stated in the original post, the $124 MSBU only covers about $9.5M of the nearly $40M of the combined fire department budgets, the rest comes from the General Fund. I haven't Looked into Lake County's budget (busy enough with Sumter) but would assume it is a similar case. Just comparing the $201 to the $124 is NOT an accurate comparison of the actual costs of running the fire departments.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
