Yesterday in your community paper you received an insert called "Mason Matters". It goes into detail about the fire levy and what it will cost/cover. I was surprised by the day of the vote. It's not election day, but August 5th! Not much is being said about it. I anticipate low voter turnout. It doesn't say WHERE to vote. I am assuming the place where we normally vote? If someone hears any more, please update us. Thanks.

Today's Pulse Journal breaks the charges of the levy down a little better. "Passing the new tax would cost a homeowner who owns a $100,000 $70 more per year to bring it to $210." For our homes est $300,000ish which comes to $630/year. Personally, I wish I saw more team work and cooperation between Mason and Deerfield Twp. We could save a lot of money if the fire departments went to a "team building" seminar.
Would my house be worth less if I let the weeds grow?
No just more of a fire hazard....my pouring gasoline around your yard probably doesn't help either. Sorry. I got confused about the weed killer thingy.

They are putting it back on the ballot for November fyi
City of Mason just announced they are building the fire house anyway, so it doesn't really matter how you vote. They are just posting it as a deficit..............that's a little frustrating.
