Until someone explains it in a manner that convinces me that paying twice is a good idea, I think I'll pass on it. Not sure if I like the answers of "maybe, IF, might, could" or a promise of better service. Better than what? Does anyone have a problem with our current Fire Dept? I am not trying to stir up trouble. Just trying to understand the advantage of paying more for something I hopefully will never need to use. I also attempt to get the best price for insurance every chance I get. Living on a limited income, I try to be prudent with my finances when possible.
You are mistaken.

You will not pay twice for the IFD/VPSD. If the IFD passes, Sumter County will no longer fund the VPSD, they will no longer take ad-valorem taxes to send to the VPSD.
