HOLLISTER, Calif. (KION) - The clock is ticking for San Benito County and the city of Hollister to agree on handling fire services. The board says what Hollister is asking for is not feasible, so they voted today on forming an ad hoc to work with Cal Fire on creating a county fire district. "I'm

Well their shinanigans are catching up with them. If you want to stop nearly all economic development (commercial and light industrial) in SBC, (Measure A is stupid), then you will still have to "pay the piper" or risk your credibility. This can be solved with some decent decisions to put more jobs in the county, so that businesses can pay more taxes and make it safer for all of us. This is not that difficult to figure out. With 95% of SBC residents living in a wildlife fire zone not only do we need to upgrade our equipment, but also maintain a competent level of qualified fire fighters. Otherwise we risk loosing our fire insurance, along with our homes.

I compare this article to the behaviors of Supervisor KK, who clearly and consistently behaves in concert with PORC and its positions. He complains of others who wish to support our county with sustainable economic development of being biased, yet fails to look in his own mirror. Wonder how he plans to fill all those pot-holes, as well as support a viable fire department, law enforcement department and try to push a county supported hospital, which has been very poorly managed by our county officials. Gotta wonder about his real intentions for county residents.
