There’s nothing conservative about letting a family home burn to the ground. Certainly not over seventy-five bucks. It’s not an ideological issue at all. That has to be the most small-minded thing I’ve ever heard of. It’s beyond pathetic. It is truly disgusting.

The FD in this county is a BUSINESS. You do not wait to get flooded out before you run and buy Flood Insurance. You don't wait until your car is stolen before you buy Car Insurance. We all know that insurance companies exist to make a profit (maybe the FD does too, I don't know). But they make their profit by amortization of risk over a large population.

If this idiot opts to not buy Fire Insurance, and gets the same level of service as someone who did pay - Why would anyone pay next year?

So, with no one paying the annual $75, the FD would go broke - and now NO ONE would have a FD to protect their homes.

And just plain stupid. See Message # 75.
