Is it really fair to ask city residents to pay the same tax 2.5 mill increase for these services as our rural neighbors who chose to live in the county? (Both ballots provide for a 2.5 mill tax increase.)
As a practical matter, the approval of Durango Ballot 2A would amount to a city taxpayer subsidy of more expensive fire and emergency services for non-city residents.
