Voting against an emergency medical services levy is like
voting against motherhood and apple pie. Even so, The News
Tribune recommends voters say no to EMS levy proposals in
Tacoma, University Place and Thurston County
We have no quarrel with the purpose or the amount of the
proposals appearing on the Sept. 14 primary ballot. The
'"'N problem is fire officials in those
r=l.¢ i Iv jurisdictions want voters to
mrrmMENDATION s make the levies permanent -
• .--v..,.. and that's unwise.
Until this year, cities and fire districts could only ask voters
to approve EMS levies for six- or 10-year terms. This year,
however, the Legislature allowed cities and fire districts to ek
approval for permanent levies, meaning they would no longer
be required to return to the voters periodically.
EMS levies, which pay for paramedics and medical rescue
units, almost always win handily at the polls. But occasionally
it's a close call, as it was in Tacoma in 1994 and in King County
in 1997. Fire officials would rather have the assurance of a
permanent tax; they note voters can reduce or repeal an EMS
levy by referendum if they're dissatisfied.
The traditional six-year term is long enough to provide both
stability and accountability to the taxpayers. Fire iepartments
should be no different from schools and other local governments
required to periodically put their special levy requests before
the voters.
ProEMS campaign statements don't tell voters that
permanent EMS levies, set at a fixed rate, could produce a
revenue windfall for fire departments ifproperty values
increase strongly over the years. Rejecting permanent levies
this year won't leave citizens unprotected; fire districts or
departments can return to the polls next year before their
current levies expire.
Fire districts in Lakewood and tiny Greenwater are seeking
one-year and six-year EMS levies, respectively. Those are fine.
But voters should tell fire officials seeking permanent cash flow
to go back to th drawing =rdl
. These concerns also apply to the EMS
levy by Mason County Fire District #5
Please don't double your EMS Tax and make it permanent.
VOTE NO ON PROP I.

Voting against an emergency medical services levy is like
voting against motherhood and apple pie. Even so, The News
Tribune recommends voters say no to EMS levy proposals in
Tacoma, University Place and Thurston County
We have no quarrel with the purpose or the amount of the
proposals appearing on the Sept. 14 primary ballot. The
'"'N problem is fire officials in those
r=l.¢ i Iv jurisdictions want voters to
mrrmMENDATION s make the levies permanent -
• .--v..,.. and that's unwise.
Until this year, cities and fire districts could only ask voters
to approve EMS levies for six- or 10-year terms. This year,
however, the Legislature allowed cities and fire districts to ek
approval for permanent levies, meaning they would no longer
be required to return to the voters periodically.
EMS levies, which pay for paramedics and medical rescue
units, almost always win handily at the polls. But occasionally
it's a close call, as it was in Tacoma in 1994 and in King County
in 1997. Fire officials would rather have the assurance of a
permanent tax; they note voters can reduce or repeal an EMS
levy by referendum if they're dissatisfied.
The traditional six-year term is long enough to provide both
stability and accountability to the taxpayers. Fire iepartments
should be no different from schools and other local governments
required to periodically put their special levy requests before
the voters.
ProEMS campaign statements don't tell voters that
permanent EMS levies, set at a fixed rate, could produce a
revenue windfall for fire departments ifproperty values
increase strongly over the years. Rejecting permanent levies
this year won't leave citizens unprotected; fire districts or
departments can return to the polls next year before their
current levies expire.
Fire districts in Lakewood and tiny Greenwater are seeking
one-year and six-year EMS levies, respectively. Those are fine.
But voters should tell fire officials seeking permanent cash flow
to go back to th drawing =rdl
. These concerns also apply to the EMS
levy by Mason County Fire District #5
Please don't double your EMS Tax and make it permanent.
VOTE NO ON PROP I.
