re: #296 St. Louisville Cards

Well option 2 is no fire service period.

No, it’s not.

They don’t have money trees in Tennessee, so someone has to pay for it.

Perhaps you can explain how much money they saved by standing around watching the fire burn for awhile before fighting it. Can you?

It is an option of fire protection for paying members for fire protection for no one.

Why on earth do you believe this? Where are you getting this from?

If they went the Obdicut way, the fire house would be empty most days because they don’t have the budget to staff it.

There are 1,000 households in the area they get ‘subscriptions’ from. So they get, at most, $75,000 from this. How many full-time firemen does that buy?

And again: Can you explain how they saved money by showing up, watching the fire burn, and then fighting it after awhile?
