The comparable levy rate of $1.54 with the RFA is not bad...you'd think the the fire department was coming to your house and taking your money at gunpoint with how dramatic some of these detractors are. That's cheaper than where I live and with much better service provided.
I'd trust the money with the fire department for their sole use far more than a city council of buffoons to split between the fire department and whatever pet political projects they dream up.
