Government inefficiency grates on all of us. 1-695 is not the answer, though - it misses the target and the un- intended collateral damage is severe. Successful passage would result in a $600,000 annual re- duction to our health department, a $1,300,000 loss to our criminal justice system, a reduction in bus services from 5,590 hours to 2,520 hours per week, and the loss of several thousand construction jobs as several transportation projects grind to a halt. Further, due to a previous Ini- tiative 601, the highly publicized surplus is not readily available and Referendum 49, approved by the voters for 2 billion dollars in transportation/ferry projects will be unfunded by 1-695! There is much more collateral damage with the passage of 1-695; but I believe with the above ex- amples, it is clear that this well intended smart bomb is nowhere near the target.

Here is what happened to a very good friend who used the Fire District 5 EMS (to the hospi- tal in an emergency), and en- route, the ambulance broke down. Fortunately, the driver was a good mechanic who made a fast repair, so they made it to the hos- pital in time. I would not want to go through a similar experience, would you? Good equipment and good train- ing are essential to the EMS. Even a minor breakdown can be life-threatening. In Fire District 2, our equip- ment has been upgraded, and we thank Chief Mike Greene and the voters every day knowing that we'll make it to the hospital. I just want voters in Fire District 5 to realize the importance to vote YES for EMS on November 2, so their emergency service will be reliable, too. Enough said. Harry Martin Belfair Vote 'yes' on FD5 EMS levy Editor, Belfair Herald: Being a resident of LakeLand Village for the past 11 years, I have witnessed many a trip the ambulances of Fire District 5 have made chugging up the hill from Allyn. This is a letter of sup- port for the Mason County Fire District 5, EMS proposition 2. The prompt service and techni- cal expertise of the technicians should be supported by funding the upcoming levy to be voted on Tuesday, November 2.

Then, in a matter of moments, I was gently put aboard the am- bulance for a trip to Harrison Hospital. It was comforting to know I was being well cared for along the way. The professional manner in which the volunteers responded and gave of themselves is still on my mind each time I pass our lo- cal fire station. It turned out that I had pneu- monia and an irregular heart beat, and thus spent the next three days in the hospital.
