They try to paint this as a conservative vs. liberal issue, but it sounds more to me like your run of the mill, local-yokel political bullshit. Sure, the city should get reimbursed for providing fire services to people outside the city limits, but logically it should come out of their taxes somehow. $75 a year and you can't pay after the fact or we'll let your house burn down sounds more like a protection racket than municipal services.
