I’m around $300 per month but have a separate additional EMS fee that will be going up because the Chief had been cooking the books and embezzled like $1.5M from the pension fund so now the station is under funded by a couple million and our guys are at risk of not being paid.

We wrote them a $300k check out of discretionary funds to keep them afloat until the surrounding towns who also rely on them step the F up and help out.

The county, whose problem this really is, so far has not indicated they’ll do a thing.

Sounds strange to say but we get more out of our HOA than we do paying county taxes.

It’s one of the reasons we have no intention of ever paying off our bonds because they are the one thing preventing us from being annexed. No one wants to take on our debt. But as soon as it’s gone they’ll swoop in and then we are ****ed because instead of us paying for our own infrastructure upkeep we will then have to fight for allocation from the three towns that can annex us and the county.
