Secondly, also if I read correctly, the numbers are not yet finalized, so we have no idea what general property tax might be needed to fund the remainder of Sumter County's fire services once TV is split off, which kind of sounds like a pig in a poke.

Don, please correct me if that assessment is in error.
This to me is the biggest unknown. Is there anyway to guarantee that Sumter County will reduce the millage rate if the new system is approved? I can see it now. Next year Sumter says we need "X" amount of money to support their services and we see little to no reduction.
