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.
The cities of Camas and Washougal are hosting a final information session tonight from 7-8PM. If you have questions about the Regional Fire Authority and Proposition 1 your firefighters would urge you to attend.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.4 CommentsComment on Facebook

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!)

Welcome aboard Finn
Your firefighters wanted to give you another opportunity to meet with us and ask us firsthand why we support a YES vote on Proposition 1 in Camas and Washougal.
YOUR SAFETY MATTERS.

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.
