May 31, 2007, 4:49pm (report abuse)This bill, when passed, would support a small volunteer fire department in their efforts to build a new fire station. The Fire District customers are 80% from outside the district. In essence the fire district has big city problems on a less than a small town budget.

July 12, 2007, 4:35pm (report abuse)This bill will allow our fire district to take the first step towards replacing a fire station that is over 75 years old. The station is in dire need of replacement so that we can continue to provide quality emergency services to our community.
