YES on GG for Berkeley's Fire Department

Fire and paramedic services are a public good. I benefit when they put out other people's fires and prevent the flames from spreading.

Opponents of GG are the same crew opposing other taxes and supportive projects the city is trying to do. Their argument asserts that the city is going in completely the wrong direction. I disagree, so I don't trust that their ballot arguments have accurate information.

As with Measure FF, it comes down to priorities. Are you willing to spend about $78 per year (average for a 1900 s.f. home) to get better fire and paramedic services? I am.
