West Klickitat RFA Question On Ballots

Ballots for the November election should be arriving in mailboxes, and voters in White Salmon and Klickitat County Fire District 3 will be deciding on whether to approve the West Klickitat County Regional Fire Authority.  It would combine FD 3 and White Salmon Fire into one agency with its own tax base.  The new authority would have a property tax assessment of 76 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value, which is a seven cent increase in FD 3 but a bigger jump for White Salmon, where City Councilor Jim Ransier says fire services have been underfunded for many years, adding it will cost less to correct that with this plan than doing it on their own.  The fire authority board would be made up of three people each from the City and the current FD 3.
