ih8music Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I despise of the idea of having to "opt-in" for core services like fire protection (does it apply to EMS & police coverage, too?) -- but why couldn't they have a policy in place where the homeowner would just be fined for the cost of putting out the fire? Pay $75/year or risk having to pay $5000 for your house to be saved (but it will be saved). Whoever came up with this law either didn't think it through or is one cold-hearted SOB.
