It may be time to break up fire protection services and remove it from the county plate. The only thing that complicates this is the unincorporated section which would have to rely on county centered services. If you pay Wildwood, Fruitland Park, or Leesburg taxes, you are covered. The shortfall would have to be made up by unincorporated tax payers for their own service.

The issue is ugly, but sooner or later it needs fixed. The overlapped 124 dollar a year tax is an outgrown bandage.

Just having the county control it all is well outdated and impractical. The NEW Villages Dependent District formulated by the county would be a game changer for legal actions and logistical grounds to get back our community to be run by its citizens.
