This is a response to the letter circulated around Krakow Township Just prior to Aug. 5 elections it was brought to the attention of fire department members that a letter was circulated in Krakow Township with the title of Dear Krakow Township neighbor. Although I am not responding to most of its contents I will respond to the paragraph under Fire Authority which read Quote, A number of you may recall a petition circulated last year that was against the Fire Authority. The petition highlighted the fact that the Fire Authority, can without a vote of the citizens, levy a substantial tax to support itself with your tax dollars. A substantial number of signatures were obtained but when submitted to the Township Board a majority of the Township Board Trustees refused to accept or even recognize the petition. This was an act of ignoring the “voice of the people” unquote. In response to that statement here are the true facts.
