Ballot Issue 6B—where the Stratmoor Hills Fire Protection District asks for a modest boost in property taxes to keep us all a bit safer. And let me be clear, dear readers, the El Paso County Democratic Party wholeheartedly recommends a Yes vote on this one. Why, you ask? Because this is about more than just numbers on a tax bill—it’s about saving lives.
The additional revenue will allow the district to hire more firefighters, improve response times, and ensure our brave first responders are paid competitive wages to keep them right here, where they belong. And, of course, let’s not forget replacing that aging equipment—because who wants firefighters tackling emergencies with rusty gear?
In an era when every second counts, investing in our fire district’s ability to respond quickly and effectively isn’t just sensible—it’s vital. A Yes vote is a vote for public safety, and honestly, who could say no to that?
