I am writing not only as a property owner but also as a member of the community who makes ever effort to be adequately informed. After receiving my absentee ballot the other day I sat down to cast my vote and in reading the EMS levy felt there was a possibility the public could misinterpret.

I wanted to take this opportunity to emphasize one very important point. This IS NOT an increase or a new tax but a continuation of an essential support of the existing EMS system. If anyone you know, love, or care about has ever been helped by any of the caring, dedicated, and well-trained team, you know what a gift this service is to our community.

Please VOTE YES to continue to support and maintain the EMS system.
