the gist:

They made a plan to protect everyone but the commissioners (voted in by taxpayers) didn't want to raise taxes for a service they were (in 1987) getting for free. So depts stopped responding and the service started. Their new plan sounds similarly hair-brained.
So just as I suspected. They put it to a vote long ago, and it was voted down due to tax increases.

Then a good plan comes up, and they can't fund it so it sits for 23 years. They basically have no fire dept, because they refused ot pay for one. So the ones who voted YES, are probably the ones who pay their 75.00 while the ones who voted NO don't pay. And complain about it.

NOW, some of the cities won't go into the county AT ALL due to the cost because of non-payment and funding problems.

Hmmmmmm.............. Fool me once.......
