Wentzville Bond Issue/Tax

The Wentzville Fire Dept. and people are really spreading lies about this Tax increase. Lies or unethical things I have heard that the District is claiming.... That the District tax revenues are decreasing when in fact they are increasing every year! That the ambulance district failed to get a tax increase and that is why the Fire District needs paramedics(Voters just approved a tax increase for SCCAD). That the Fire District people will not get raises with this tax increase and surprise, surprise...the Fire Fighters Collective Bargaining agreement expires in August...so, with a 50% TAX INCREASE, I would think everyone will get a raise over the 100k per year that most of them already make!!! Also, heard that people at the Fire Department are promising certain construction companies contracts to build the new stations if they go along with these extreme tax increases and also if they get to use their Business locations for sign locations(Prop L) sound familiar...Mr. Flint Hill? Oh...the unethical things and the Nepotism runs deep at the Wentzville Fire Department...just ask the chief if he was not hired by his SON the Wentzville captain and UNION SECRETARY at the local fire union hall. Sorry Wentzville, with all of the negative and unethical things  I have read about your department in the last year... I think the answer is to vote NO and hope that I can make ends meet at my own home with gasoline approaching $4.00 per gallon and World War lll right around the corner......Oh, and people don't fall for the other big lie about seconds matter.....blah, blah, blah! If my house catches fire, one of the 6 Fire districts in my area will show up within minutes whether this tax passes or not. Don't fall for the FIREFIGHTER SPIN! These people are masters at deception!
