I guess the media succeeded in getting a bunch of people indignant and pissed. Mission accomplished.

My understanding is that fire departments will not even bother to attempt to put out a trailer firs as they go up like Christmas trees. So if the poor sod had paid the $75 they still would have stood around and watch it burn.

Converting taxes to fees is a favourite Republican trick - "See we lowered taxes" never mind that fees are the most regressive form of taxation.
