mostly.

And it is not just pols... our back country residents predicable revolt every time anybody asks them to pay one more cent for fire protection.

You'd think after Cedar you could have had some more paid for fire protection, but NOOOO!!!!!!!

One of these days there is gonna be a disaster and they will scream WHY NOT FIRE CREWS! Or better yet, WHERE WERE THEM FIREFIGHTERS?????

I swear, there are days I just want to hit my head on the wall, less painful that way.

The latest kerfunkle is over the fire protection districts in the state area of responsibly, which in the back country you cannot avoid... they are all up in arms. What, YOU WANT ME TO PAY A LITTLE MORE (A flat fee) to pay for state fire protection? I mean it's like Cal Fire is free I guess. NO MORE TAXES!!!!

I just LLLUUUUVVVVEEEE the low tax mantra, get something for nothing... really



I have no idea what it will take to break that pattern to be honest.

But short answer, this. (And since this is a guy in a suit, it is even better)
