The weather has been great! A little rain here and there, it cooled off, but it’s also very HUMID. At almost 11 pm it’s 78 F outside, not bad at all.

Fire board is going for TAX INCREASE
This is so incredibly frustrating. Here we are, in one of the most conservative areas in the entire country, and all they can do is RAISE TAXES.

It’s time to separate Meadview from the Dolan Springs LMRFD fire district
Last Monday was another gruesome fire board meeting. It was scheduled for 1:30 pm, but it didn’t start till around 2 pm (when Steve Berg showed up with a box with papers from the chief) because the chief was assisting broken down tourists with a couple little kids and he let them sit in his… Continue Reading
