LETTER: Village has been trying to work with volunteer fire department Your elected officials and the West Salem Fire District Board have been meeting regularly over the last eight months to solve the fire district’s financial crisis. In fact, the village has hired legal counsel to draft language for a referendum question for the fall election ballot asking the taxpayers to allow the village to exceed state-imposed levy limits in order to solve the fire district’s financial crisis. Yet, the fire department is implying that the village has put your safety in jeopardy. |
