The proposed fire district was, indeed, a pig in a poke that we were being asked to buy. It went down to a well-deserved defeat. The present system is working, and there was no need to change it.

Maybe the newer areas are more aware of how isolated they are from the "main" part of Sumter and understand they would have been better off with a Villager run system.
