Immense disservice to volunteer fire companies with your recent editorial. A puff piece with sketchy details. A real reporter would examine budgets and report on each fire district budget with specific details. If your problem is voter participation, did you ever think most citizens believe their volunteer fire company serve them well and deserve their support. Many receive a mail-in ballot and must choose NOT to vote if the amount of registered voters is so low. I guess it also reflects on the your readership not reading your article prior to the elections.
