re: #86 subsailor68

Actually, I don’t disagree with you on that as a general observation. But, IIRC, according to the article I read, the homeowner knew he hadn’t paid the subscription. But, I’d also agree with ya that - if the council/fire district - or whoever was tasked to handle finances - never sent follow-on notices that he was behind in his fees, they blew it as well.

As to your final point, we agree there as well. Clearly, the subscription policy is nuts, and the county needs to find a way to provide these services and fund them from the property tax.

It doesn’t really matter if he knows, doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the fee. Maybe he’s too stupid (and I really mean that, like a low IQ) to know the consequences of such an action. That’s why when you own a home, it’s not something you should have to think about.

“Love they neighbor”…. except when they don’t pay the $75 fee, then they should all burn to death in a fire.

What about that? What if it happened in the middle of the night and no one could get out of the house? They’re passed out on the floor and the fire dept can’t go in and look?

If I was stupid enough to live in this assbackwards city, I would walk my payment down to the city office and watch them put it in the system. I’d take no chances of even mailing it.
