Proposition 1 is a crucial measure that will significantly impact the safety and well-being of our community. By voting "yes" to restore our fire levy to its original, voter-approved rate, we can secure the necessary resources to ensure effective emergency response, enhance our fire department's capabilities, and fortify their indispensable services.
This measure addresses financial challenges set by WA State’s 1% revenue growth cap and rising inflation, ensuring Renton RFA secures the funds necessary to maintain operations effectively.
Our community's rapid growth amplifies the demand for reliable emergency services. Proposition 1 provides Renton RFA the means to meet this increasing demand, sustaining our community's high safety standards and supporting the replacement of Renton’s oldest fire station with a new, 50-year station in one of Renton’s fastest growing areas.
Proposition 1 signifies our pledge to protect our community, businesses, homes, and families. In emergencies, every second is crucial. This measure will allow Renton to maintain our high-quality response times, state-of-the art resources, and expert personnel while saving taxpayer dollars long term.
We implore you to vote “yes” on Proposition 1. It’s not just a ballot measure – it’s a crucial investment in our shared safety, peace of mind, and prosperous future.
