None of us know what the real cost of the new district would have been to us because none of us know what the unelected fire-district board members would have decided to do with the tax rate or how much, if at all, the county commission would have reduced our county tax.
Another of MANY facts that none of us know, but the proponents do know: What would the new district have done to the Developer's taxes? (The $10 million cap on taxable value was a nice break for the Developer, but what would the other tax effects have been?) In other words, were we, once again, being asked to subsidize the Developer's business???
The proposed fire district was a pig in a poke being sold to us, and a majority of us said, "Sorry, we are not buying it."
