Empowering Citizens to Decide Their Future
Stand Against Unending Fees
Join our movement to ensure that every voice is heard and every vote counts. Together, we can challenge decisions that impact our community without our consent.
Our Mission and Vision
Voters Against Forever Fees is dedicated to empowering citizens by advocating for transparency and accountability in local government decisions. Our mission is to ensure that every resident has a say in financial decisions that affect their lives. We envision a community where civic engagement is encouraged, and decisions are made with the consent of the governed. Our values are rooted in democracy, transparency, and community empowerment.
Why We Oppose the Fire Service Fee
The Impact of Unchecked Fees
The fire service fee, recently passed by the city council, is a financial burden that lacks transparency and accountability. This fee, which can be increased at any time without voter approval, undermines the democratic process and places an undue burden on citizens. By opposing this fee, we aim to protect the rights of residents to have a say in how their money is spent and ensure that financial decisions are made with public input.
Without a clear sunset clause, the fire service fee represents a perpetual financial obligation for citizens. It is crucial that such decisions are made with the involvement of the community, as they have long-term implications on household budgets and the local economy. We believe that every citizen should have the right to vote on fees that affect their daily lives, ensuring that government actions reflect the will of the people.
Empowering Voter Voices
In a democratic society, the power of decision-making should rest with the people. Voter involvement in decisions regarding city fees and ordinances is crucial to ensure transparency and accountability. When citizens are engaged, they can influence outcomes that directly impact their lives and communities. At Voters Against Forever Fees, we believe that every resident should have a say in financial decisions that affect their future. By participating in the democratic process, voters can help shape policies that reflect the collective will and ensure that funds are used responsibly and effectively.
