John,
I don't consider having to "keep an eye" on two boards to be an onerous proposition; voters already do keep many boards/councils/houses etc in mind when voting every year. We have many layers of elected government as it is. The RFA is no more single-minded than a local fire district of which we have many surrounding us with dedicated fire commissioners and budgets focused on one thing: fire and EMS. There will be six (or maybe it was seven--can't remember off the top of my head) elected RFA commissioners elected at large...that is plenty of voter accountability in my book. The voters will have say in both the election of their representatives to the RFA and the six-year rotating re-authorization of the FBC. What more accountability and transparency do you want?
