And he’ll be reincarnated with a new name.:laugh:

Some of the haters might not be around because of the slow response time.

If they arrive in time it was irrelevant. If they are late it won’t matter anyway. People need to live and stop worrying.

Clueless Dude................I know people who have been saved. If they are late, they missed an opportunity. "live & stop worrying"......that's the point, live........not late & die.

WOW.

The financial answer could not be answered clearly.

The IFD will cost each house $X and $Y will come off your county taxes.
X and Y should have been the same or within a few dollars

I suppose in the cases when faster arriving first responders can jump start a stopped heart it would help, but if the patient requires timely and competent care from the Villages hospital the faster response time is highly unlikely to matter.

Did you happen to see any information or posts or meetings or articles that mentioned an average increase between $85 - $125? What did you think that meant?

And before we start with the definition of "few dollars," everyone in the county who pays taxes contributes to the VPSD whether they are in the Villages or not. When you change that and only have those in the Villages pay then the cost per household goes up a little - about $85 - $125.

The information was presented dozens of times - some just chose to not hear it.

Personal experience, and worst experience of my life. Spent twelve hours there with a severe life threatening illness, barley got any care, finally misdiagnosed and sent home after midnight to die. Couldn’t possibly comprehend worse experience even if they were trying to do worst possible job. There isn’t a rating low enough to give the hell hole.

My apologies. I misunderstood your point. I have removed my comment.

Time will tell, but you cannot say you have lost nothing because you have no idea what the politicians might decide to do with your service. Would have been much better with an independent system and an elected board of Villagers. But you said no.

Villagers should be aware that "The VHA" trademark is registered to the Developer. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...eloper-336491/

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.

Because they tried to do that at least once before Remember the people YOU promoted to the SCBOC?

Good for you. Not sure about others though.

People always talk about slow response times. I have tried to get accurate numbers on how many people died because of slow response times (or had severe health consequences) but no one has them.

I also tried to find out how response times here compare to response times across the state and the country.

Does anyone have this information??
