I live in the Redneck Riviera - A.K.A the Florida Panhandle. Anyways the fire department since decades past was always volunteer - never knew if Bob or Sam would show up in time to save your house. So those damn libs tried to get a 1/2 penny - yes, that's right - one half of one penny tax to pay for a profession fire department complete with new engines, a firehouse and other improvements, but it was voted NO by a huge percentage of voters.

Hell, no on anything that even smells like a tax or a fee to improve the quality of life in this little slice of tight-assed conservatives.
