FIRE FEE INCREASE

The original "temporary" fire fee was $ 59.00, today it has been raised to $ 159.00.  From a FIVE MILLION dollar windfall to a 17 MILLION dollar fund today, your dollars are not providing you better or more service, those dollars are paying for the underfunded pension program the firefighters have recklessly saddled the City of Hollywood with.  For the record, the current administration did not initiate such a ridiculous pension plan, guaranteeing 8% returns, previous commissions are responsible for this.  What this current commission is guilty of is playing politics with your hard earned tax dollars.  They have been unable to garner the four votes necessary to simply say no.  If you're not mad as hell, you're not paying attention!
