I am a property owner, and want to pay as little as possible in property tax.

And, I am voting in favor of the EMS Levy because I believe we have an incredible EMS team. Not only are they there to help when you need them, they also work to prevent tragedy.

I know there is more than one teenager who chose not to get in a vehicle with a drunk driver because of the Every 15 Minutes Program (paid for by grants). They save lives, and I appreciate all the lives of the people living in my community.

Funding is necessary. From all the facts I’ve heard, they are responsible with their funding. Please vote “Yes” for the EMS levy.
