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.

Come on Rob, municipalities all over the place around here are doing it, no tie to party, they just never met a dollar they didn't like, and folks are dumb.

The one time it was done here recently was under Bobby Haircut, the dumb Republican, and it is still a regressive tax.
