Regrettably, I didn't notice this meeting. I would have attended and my three minutes would be something like: "The RFA is a tax dodge. Two municipal governments unable to balance the budget within the 1% per year levy lid are creating a new taxing authority to circumvent voter intent. The absurdity of debating RFA structure taxation formulas for mobile homes verses high rise apartments when the vast majority of fire departments' work is for non-structure calls is an irrelevant red herring. But to that point: we should never forget that when public opposition was rising against the RFA, its proponents suddenly found 10 Empire State Buildings worth of uncounted commercial square footage. Taxation formulas suddenly were fudged into more palatable. At the core -- first and last -- is a funding scheme that disrespects the voter. As such, if passed, the voter should expect more of the same: taxation formulas re-adjusting for non-credible reasons - but higher after the vote."
