Letter to the editor: Support tax to fund Lewis County 911 center

Posted

The citizens of Lewis County will have the opportunity to vote yes for a more reliable long term communication system for our emergency services. I am recommending a yes vote for the 911 Communications Center.

Upgrading and maintaining the radio communications system for first responders is crucial for effective emergency management. The dedicated funding stream from .2 sales tax ensures essential infrastructure support for upgrades and maintenance.

Using sales tax instead of property taxes will make sure the funding is spread out to all who live here as well as visitors who come to the county. Lewis County emergency services respond to all emergency calls within the county.

Steady funding source received from .2 sales tax on retail to maintain our first responders communication system will ensure better reliability.
