Reply #102: "should" has nothing to do with the facts on the ground. the county has repeatedly refused to fund [View All]

[Hannah Bell]

fire service, over at least 10 years. 2 proposals to start up a volunteer county service shot down. the cities got sick of fighting their fires -- 75% OF ALL CALLS -- for free, & demanded some money. the county opted for the "individual choice" model -- because they didn't want to "force anyone" to pay.

wtf does "should" have to do with the facts on the ground?

the city has only 2500 residents. the county is bigger, and richer. wtf is the city supposed to do when the county won't pay? with budget cutbacks i can only imagine how close to the margins such a small city is.
