🚨 First off, we want to thank the four County Commissioners who voted in favor of public safety today by supporting the approval of the first additional fire station in Hernando County in nearly 25 years. 👏🚒
Commissioners Hawkins, Campbell, Amsler, and Allocco made public safety the priority, and we appreciate their support. 🇺🇸
The lone “no” vote once again came from the one commissioner opposed to the project, who continues to rant about being able to build it for far less taxpayer money and claims to have “a lot of contractor friends.” Yet throughout this two-year process, nothing has been produced other than repeated complaints about how it could supposedly be done cheaper.
❌ No competing bids.
❌ No actual proposals.
❌ No public comments opposing the need for a new fire station.
Just repeated 3–5 minute rants attacking our public safety departments every chance he gets.
So, if there are any contractors out there who can build a fire station to today’s standards, one capable of housing up to seven firefighters per day, for under $3 million, we want to hear from you! 👀🏗️🚒
Because the citizens of Hernando County deserve modern fire stations, properly staffed crews, and the level of public safety that keeps up with the growth of our community. We whole-heartedly support conservative thinking when we can save the taxpayers money, but just because we keep repeating false statements, it doesn't help them come true! 💪🔥
