Darlene’s Commentary: How cold has it been in your neighborhood lately? I can actually say . . . it is FREEZING here in good old Wonder Valley. Say – what’s happened to global warming? Do we need to be frozen before we can thaw out? I haven’t heard from the Bunwarmers, and imagine that their truck is still in the shop. (The Bunwarmers are the vendors of firewood for HEAP.) Maybe I’ll get a heat pump from Santa. Anyhow, I’m kidding, but I want to wish all of Wonder Valley and the rest of the planet a peaceful, warm and loving Christmas!
Karen’s Commentary: I recently received an email from an old friend regarding the proposed fire tax, and I’d like to share some of his thoughts with you:
“. . . I believe that everyone deserves to make a living wage, but I don’t believe that we should support a class of people – government workers – who live like elites while the rest of us starve . . . Their salaries come out of our pockets and our pockets are not exactly overflowing. They are not taking away our European vacations, they are taking food off of our plates . . . I hope I’m not sounding too forceful, but I think the salaries and retirement packages are outrageous . . . The union firefighters make Wonder Valley a ward of the county . . . The volunteer firefighters – that was more than a public service – it was who we were.”We thank Tim Candelaria for doing a great job maintaining our roads.
