EMS Levy a priority
Published on Wed, Aug 11, 2010Read More Letters
Dear
Editor,
I am writing in support of the EMS Levy Mukilteo residents are currently voting on.
I am typically not a supporter of tax increases, but passing this levy is a must-do, for a couple of reasons.
First, the quality of life and our health is at times dependent on urgent and highly trained response capabilities, both of which are provided by our excellent Fire Department.
Second, by not funding EMS, the fiscal impact to the department and city is both extensive and long-range, the consequence being removal of the service and reduction of the number of firefighters.
In these times, it is essential we prioritize the city’s revenue and expenditures – this is a priority.
