The Villagers demanded improved ambulance response which required increased staffing. They got what they asked for.
The Villagers argued against an independent district with a stable funding stream. They got what they asked for.
Many in Sumter County (Villagers included) argued against increasing the fire protection fee to fund the fire departments. They got what they asked for.
But that puts us where we are today: the fire departments have to figure out how to do more with less.
Going without a pay raise will hurt. Seeing your co-workers let go because of funding cuts would hurt too. Lesser of two evils I guess.
