“That government is best which governs least.” These words of Thomas Jefferson are the hallmark of current conservatives toward the size of government. Big government is the bane of all hardworking Americans because money is taken from the productive and given to the unproductive.

Firefighter staffing is critically short at East Pierce Fire and Rescue during a time when firefighters are working hard to stay up with the increasing demand in call volume. In the first quarter of 2016, we responded to 2,506 alarms—a 15 percent increase over the same period as last year. With the continued growth in our area, we are expecting call volumes to keep climbing.
I wanted to put a letter out regarding the newest fire levy. I am sure many will disagree with my thought process, and I will gladly embrace that. This is America and we should be allowed to disagree in a civil manner.
