I visited CRD in person today. This is not the first attempt via a referendum to try to ram a new fire tax down our throats. This was defeated a few short years ago, yet here we are with the same group trying again.

If you have a property assessed at 200,000 on the improvement portion of your tax notice, you will pay approximately an additional $372 per year, every year. 300,000, $520 extra every year.

All this for little or no improvement in response time to a fire as the halls will still be manned by volunteers on call, except perhaps with better radios.
