COMMUNITY ALERT

In his proposed FY09 budget, Montgomery County Executive Leggett has included for the first time, a fee for ambulance and paramedic unit services and a mileage charge for transportation to the hospital. County residents already pay for ambulance service through the fire tax portion of their property taxes. The proposed fee is $300-800 depending on level of service.
The Montgomery County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association, which represents the County's 19 local fire and rescue departments is unanimous in its opposition to this proposed fee. The County Council is currently holding budget hearings on the FY09 budget. Join us in opposing this new tax on County residents.

PLEASE CONTACT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS TO EXPRESS YOUR OPPOSITION TO THIS PROPOSED FEE
