Editor,
The fire department just voted in a hidden tax. Who will pay? The tax is for "incidents" responded to by the department. The Polson Rural Fire district residents already pay a property tax for this service. It seems like double dipping to me. This tax will be billed to you and me and maybe even our insurance companies. If insurers have to pay, then all of our rates will increase. Who decides how much to and who the tax will be billed? Some of the Polson Rural Fire District board said the chief would decide, some said only those who do not pay taxes in Lake county would have to pay. Isn't this taxation without representation? Citizens please investigate this new tax and tell the fire department you want a say in how any new taxes are charged.
