Evergreen Fire Board Recall info....

What part is NOT clear? I'm relating the fact that an EARLIER EFFORT to compromise was attempted.(by the Fire Dept and it's constituents).....the "back door" approach was stalled out by the recall group's NON compromising stance.......and THAT is why we
are at this juncture in time......could have been RESOLVED MONTHS AGO.......and monies could have been utilized in a better way.

Thx JF. It was a good summary of the situation.
I have served as a board member of a special district and those folks are right.....If you can't handle the heat, you should never ever go into the kitchen.
I just think that this whole situation has created undo mistrust of a fine fire district and the damage to the community as a whole coming into fire season is immeasurable.
Very sad.

Perhaps you should just say what you mean instead of all these caps letters and sentence breaks.
It is very difficult to follow much of what you post.
This isn't meant to be hateful. I believe you have some great points. It is just hard to find them in your posting style.

That's a good way to put it, but Homeagain won't listen. It's come up before. The fact that communication is a two way street with the sender's main concern being how the message is being received does not seem to be a concern to her.

I figure to each his/her own. I browse a message and if I can't catch the meaning quickly I move on to the next. Life's to short to take too much effort decoding 'original' communication styles.

good point

Interesting discussion here.

The replacements seem more grounded and educated by far. Perhaps a lack of in the trenches firefighting is positive. Also what are the members paid and do they have benefits including retirement........they should serve unpaid IMHO as a service to the citizens.

Educated doesn't equate to smart, and I can't possibly understand how you could call them grounded.

What's your theory on the second sentence... those who can't do, administrate?

As near as I can tell, the recall group, even though they moved into the area after the burn building was planned and announced, just recently realized it might be built, and they think it might detract from their view, or whatever, so they are willing to spend any amount of taxpayer's money to defeat it, and have no concern whatsoever for anyone else who may be affected. They also do not appear to me to be qualified to manage a fire protection district in this area.

Just my opinion, based upon everything I have read.

For the citizens of the Evergreen Fire Protection District and all surrounding districts, I hope I am wrong, and there really is a valid reason for the taxpayer's money and the time and energy of the Fire Board and the volunteers that has been diverted to this issue.

It is important for all who live in the vicinity, whether in the EFPD or not, that EFPD continues to be a well organized and well trained organization.

I hope that all who can vote on this recall issue learn as much as they can about it, and vote carefully.

All of us who live in the area depend upon it.
