Yeah but this wasn't taxes. It's a fee. Like, if you want Direct TV, you pay a fee, or else you don't get it. That's not how emergency services should work. Put it in taxes, and then people will pay it.
Regardless of whether they should've been required to pay a fee, firefighters should be like doctors. Do your job first, worry about the bill later.
It's a fee due to the fact that the Fire company CAN'T afford to operate if people don't pay- they don't get enough funds from the state due to tax cuts which in turn reduce spending on useless things(to the state of Tennessee) like the fire dept.
