As a cost saving measure, our community combined law enforcement with fire and rescue services into one entity. Because we pay extra to live here (to support these services) the costs to property owners is going up a buck a day and we'll have it on the next ballot for an up or down vote.
If the initiative is voted down, we'll be up to an hour from medical care (ambulance) and a half hour away from the Sheriff showing up, both of which could be a death sentence.
I'm helping out the "sales" effort by working on the education and marketing so that folks will realize the value of local law enforcement and be willing to pay up. It's an uphill battle of course as our community is like half retirees on limited incomes and half dope farmers that may not want the police poking around.
I'll convince both groups that keeping the cops is in their best interest
