Thank you, Larry, for your very logical and clear review of the proposed Regional Fire Authority for the City of Olympia and Tumwater. I agree completely with your analysis and findings.
Too often each special interest or department completes a review from a self-serving perspective, and then uses conclusions out of context. The RFA is such of an example. My background is in economic and engineering consulting for local governments, often being asked to justify the "public expenditure of a new approach". Always looking for more tax money disconnected from real benefits provided. Your analysis documents this misleading and poorly presented public proposal
At some point, our elected officials need to help set priorities on new and expanded programs. The RFA is a poorly developed proposal and should be denied. Our community has much more important priorities on which to tax the City's residents.
