I am sure this place is like many rural towns throughout this country, poor, low on tax dollars, not alot of staff etc.....but to put out the brush fire and not the house, I'll use ESPN's phrase

OK, let's say they put the fire out and went home. You're a homeowner down the street...you gonna pay your $75 next year? No way in hell. Now, let's say you didn't pay and your house catches fire, and they don't come/help.

Exactly how long will it take 'till you're on the phone with an attorney?

This, boys and girls, is a small window into what is wrong with this great country of ours. RIP personal responsibility, we hardly knew ye...
