: : : : : : Merry Christmas from the Borough of Kittanning and to all those who work in the borough making over $12,000 a year, you will pay $52 for the Emergency and Municipal Services (EMS) tax in 2007 for an fire truck that is not needed. Council President Gerald Shuster got what he wanted - he needs to start listening to the citizens of Kittanning and do what is right, not what is best for himself and his friends. This council is a joke - they need to learn how to start saving money and not spending our hard earned dollars.

: : : : : Until a little common sense prevails and everyone realizes that ONE centrally located firehouse makes the most sense, these three companies will continue with their childish bickering and buying of new toys at our expense.
: : : : : I don't want to hear about how an extra second may save a life. That's bull. It's all about egos and wannabees trying to have control.

: : : : Another tax. Another reason to leave Kittanning.

: : : "More tax"
: : : "Better workers in China."
: : : "Those people deserve to lose their job."

: : : Polly want a cracker?

: : : Other counties and areas are also having trouble with fire and ambulance services, it is not only Kittanning. This is what occurs when you have a tax base that is drying up. What do you want to do hire a private company? Put your seatbelt on for higher taxes.

: : : I agree that Kittanning may need to look at consolidating the fire companies, but the tax issue would not be solved if you went down to one fire company. There are other communities all throughout the Western PA region who are feeling the effects of the declining job base.

: : : To Jim, everything is high taxes, but he gives no solutions. You want to talk about somebody who likes bitching with no solutiions, Jim is your guy.

: : So .. . . you like higher taxws?
: : Merry Christmas .

: I know your game, Jim.

: Do you like having a fire company at all? Do you like having a paramedic service at all? Do you like having a police force at all?

: I can play your game, Jim. You speak with no substance. If you did not have any taxes, how are services going to be paid for? You cannot answer that, can you?

: "more taxes"
: "more taxes"
: "more taxes"

: Enough already.

: Merry Christmas to all.

JSFM , why so bitter? Its Christmas!!!!1
Yes , we need to have taxes and yes we need services like police, EMS etc. , I have never said we did not. Quit quoting me on things that I have never said. The bitterness is eating you up. But how high should taxes go? When is enough , enough?
