LETTER: Support levy extension for Fire District 3

One of the issues the voters of this district will be deciding is the EMS levy extension for Clallam Fire District 3.

Clallam County Fire District 3 provides vital emergency services from Deer Park Road, eastbound to a portion of West Jefferson County, and this requires highly trained personnel and top-notch equipment.

The existing levy provides approximately 21 percent of the department’s total funding and is essential in maintaining a high level of response to those desperately in need of emergency services.

This is not a new tax but, rather, a renewal of existing funding that has been in place for many years.

Please help us to continue to protect you, your family, and your friends by voting yes on the Emergency Medical Services Property Tax Levy, as shown on page 88 of your official state Voter’s Pamphlet.

G. Michael Gawley,
