The Board of Equalization(I love that name-so lame, so bureaucratic, so 1984) sent out the bills for the annual fire fee for the latest fiscal year. But which fiscal year is it? The letter of explanation is typical government double speak. As it explains,"" Two billings are for 2 different fiscal yearly periods, 12-13 and 13-14. Next year's billing for Fiscal 14-15, is anticipated to be mailed beginning in March 2015. Hmmm? What fiscal year did we just pay for? If it is an annual fee and it was passed in 2011, and we've paid twice already, and they're are billing twice more, what am I missing here? Oh, just pay it and shut up.
That's what they'd like you to do. But then a state senator, Mr. Hill, conducts hearings in Sacramento and claims that fire departments are not prepared for rail tanker cars moving into the Bay Area refineries with many times the usual number of loaded containers. Hmmm? Are we not being taxed a fire Prevention fee? Hmmm? More information is available at www.firepreventionfee.org or call # 1-888-310-6447.
Your Democratic Party in action. Go, Jerry, Go. Watch him balance budgets, drill tunnels, move water with the stroke of a pen. He's amazing. He's a B-R-O-W-N.
