Elk Creek Fire sees 2013 service cuts - Flume

Elk Creek Fire Protection District plans 2013 service cuts as tax revenue has fallen and expenditures are budgeted at 8.9 percent less in 2013 than 2012.
That was just part of an array of updates presented to attendees at a Nov. 14 Conifer Town Hall Meeting sponsored by the Conifer Area Council at West Jefferson Middle School. They also heard about the status of Staunton State Park, the Pine Junction Park-n-Ride, the Conifer master plan for parks and trails, the Conifer chamber’s Christmas events, and Conifer High athletic facilities. Details in this week's Flume.

"Tax revenue has fallen" WHEN did that happen? I don't remember voting to CUT revenue. Has the tax revenue stayed the same and spending gone up? Just asking... Words mean thing.
Since, the budget is 8.9% LESS, doesn't that mean Elk Creek is working more effifent?
I'm think'in congrats are in order to Elk Creek, for spending/using wisely.

Of course, IMHO.

TPP, it's SERVICE cuts. I'm pretty sure that means cuts in SERVICE. Words mean things.

You must agree that tax revenue hasn't fallen correct?
