We know the financing may have unexpected costs, but outside of more local control I'll ask this:
What are the advantages of financing the VSPD separately?????

There are probably no advantage to just the separate financing of the VPSD. In fact, there could be disadvantages. However, the IFD is not just about separate financing.
The separate financing comes about when the IFD is created to separate the IFD from county funding.
What you also get is:
- You *only* finance the VPSD (today you also finance the SCFD)
- The VPSD is protected from being merged with the SCFD (this idea has been raised)
I like the idea that my fire protection costs will go down but what is more important to me is protecting the VPSD against being merged to form one, county-wide service.
