I would be out there with you but my husband is in the hospital

3 Votes "YES" from our Camas home. An this post has *just the numbers* & debunks misleading information: - www.facebook.com/share/p/1AEbJcvgdi/

Way is the union pushing so hard for this and dumbing $42,000 plus into this? More control for themselves and not under the city control.

YES YES YES YES!

Camas resident Lauren Colas shares her strong opposition to Proposition 1 and growing tax proposals in a new letter to the editor. Colas raises concerns over increasing property, payroll, and intangible asset taxes proposed by state lawmakers, as well as the Regional Fire Authority measure in Camas and Washougal. She warns of regressive taxation and urges voters to reject new tax plans that she says fail to bring meaningful improvements. www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-our-state-and-local-governments-need-to-learn-to-live-wit... #localnews #ClarkCountyWa

My Stance on the RFA

If you are a human, failure is a part of life. Not because we didn’t try, but because every challenge carries risk. In our profession, failure carries a different weight. When we fall short, lives can be on the line.

That’s why your firefighters give everything we’ve got, every single day, working with the resources you provide us to protect this community.

Thank you for trusting us with this responsibility. It’s what drives us to train harder, push further, and advocate for the tools and resources we need to keep you safe.

We’re honored to serve you. Stay safe.

We have an awesome crew of professional firefighters in Camas/Washougal. I sincerely hope folks will join me in voting for Prop 1 for the RFA to continue the partnership, improve services for citizens, and improve safety for and resources available to your team.

RFA is a win for everyone and if you have questions or are confused as to how it will work please attend one of the open houses to listen to the men/women of C/W FD explain how it will work and benefit both cities. PLEASE VOTE YES!!!

Nothing else needs to be said here! The RFA will cost Elaine and I additional $600 more on property tax. Also the RFA is allowed to increase by 1% per year with out a vote of the people. Just heard the State legislatures approved the 1% cap on property tax to increase to 3% for the municipalities. It just keeps coming.

Meet the newest member of our team - Firefighter Finn! Finn has mastered the art of moving on all fours and staying low in smoke, faster than any firefighter we’ve seen. We’re still working on his hose deployment skills, but we have every confidence in his potential. Welcome aboard, Finn!

(Oh, and Happy April Fool’s Day!)

Here’s the full RFA presentation directly from CWFD’s Chief Free. Please educate yourselves directly from the source to make an informed decision about the RFA. www.facebook.com/100063609758682/posts/1170246471772334/?mibextid=wwXIfr

The Yes for RFA Prop 1 has raised over $42,000 to promote the need for an RFA. Who contributed this money, was it residents? No, it was the firefighters union. Who benefits? The firefighters union. If the residents wanted the RFA, they’d be donating money and promoting the RFA. That is not the case.
