The County Board of Supervisors meeting went as expected! They voted 4-0 to continue on the path of contracting out. Why not? This is an AMAZING deal for them! They get ALL of our resources to use whenever and however they choose without paying a dime!! They get everything our tax dollars paid for because we have had our own fire department! Stone tried to tell everyone in that room (by the way, that building and chamber is over-the-top. Far less money could have been spent on all of that.) that his biggest concern for the San Jacinto Valley was that our public safety wasn't good enough. He said that it is in the better interest of the public to move forward. Yes, because your priority, Jeff Stone, is a blue collar/working class community (Input sarcasm).
Like I stated at the beginning, this is a great deal for them. They get everything we tax payers paid for, handed to them! Jeff Stone has campaign contributors such as, Calfire, owners of both the hospitals in Hemet and Menifee and other members on the board of supervisors. I have heard rumors of selling the hospital in Menifee. If I were interested in buying a hospital, then I would want to know that my potential asset was protected, aka a ladder truck. Then, there is the hospital here in Hemet. There will be no ladder truck nearby. If something happens to that hospital the chance that lives are taken is substantially increased without our ladder truck. If something happens to that hospital, who do you think benefits from the insurance payout? The owners/board of course. Many of which have contributed to Stones campaign currently and over the years.

According to the Board, the citizens don't need to vote on everything. We elect people to make decisions for us. True, we elect people to make decisions that reflect the spirit/decisions of the majority of their constituents. The majority has spoken, time and again. We want local control of our Public Safety, our Public Works, our Water Department and our Budget; our hard earned money. How about you all figure out what being a public servant is really all about?
And by the way, Citizens of Hemet who attended the council meetings that pertained to contracting out fire, apparently we all got hostile. Honestly... I'm not sure he really wants to know what the word hostile actually means.
