I also credit the POA for the defeat, many I talked to didn't try and learn, they just followed the POA and voted against the district because they were told by the POA to do that. Lot of that goes on here.
Too many new people follow the POA, without doing their own investigative work, and it has resulted in bad choices for the board of commissioners, and now the fire department. People who do not want to dig into the subject matter shouldn’t be voting.
