I feel like we'll be dancing in circles until the sun comes up, so I'll step back 
FYI - there is a video of the Hornbeak (?) Fire Department chief on MSNBC.com for anyone that's interested. Looks like Hornbeak is about 30-40 minutes away from the South Fulton area.
ETA: Cranick is at the press conference as well. Looks like there are 8 fire departments in the county, 3 of which use subscription service.
ETAA: Someone asked if they thought the subscription service was a good idea. He replied that it was better than nothing. I think people forget that without this, they'd have nothing.
Also, Cranick said that the money was not an issue. If that's the case, why didn't he pay it in the first place? |
We don't know how the citizens reacted over the course of 20 years. And, as other posters pointed out, the county could have made other arrangements besides an optional fee.
I cannot get into the minds of the people involved, I can only talk about on a policy level and an individual level from my perspective. It's the same for everyone else in this thread.
