Vote no on Rockville Centre Fire Department bond

Posted Wednesday, June 15, 2011 7:00 pm

While we support our Fire Department and its members, we feel it’s not the right time to saddle the residents of Rockville Centre with any additional debt. The proposed $21.1 million bond to rebuild the firehouses on North Centre and Maple avenues was presented as an all-or-nothing proposition, with no public discussion of how to streamline and modernize the department or any other construction proposals. Our firehouses need work, but we must find a less expensive way to balance the needs of the department with those of village taxpayers.
