scrappy doo, this guy lives in the county and is a home owner, he pays property taxes, and surely he buys things in town, therefor he pays sales taxes. what are property taxes for? I can tell you what mine go towards, and thats schools/roads/fire/police services...this 75 dollar fee is a bogus fee to try and scrape more money from its citzens, and regardless of which county, city, state this person lives in..that is what tax payers money goes toward is for the fire department to put out fires! if this fire department can arrive to protect the neighbor, it can arrive to put out the fire, PERIOD...this is one of the few things that our government provides to its citizens, even if it is his own dumb fault for setting his yard on fire, it is common for people to burn thier own trash/leaves, shit happens, fine him extra, put a lein on his house, but PUT OUT THE FIRE.
So with this arguement if my house gets robbed and my family is held hostage, and he didnt pay his property taxes or was late paying them, ooops sorry we aren't sending the police or swat team
So with this arguement if I went to the hospital because someone hit me head on and i am dying from blood loss and didnt have insurance...sorry no insurance not helping you.
if you were in his shoes and forgot to pay, because other articles says he pays every year, but forgot, you would be screaming for them to put out the fire too...and not sitting here defending the f***ed up system they have in place in tennessee
