Wisconsin Dells Maintain Sovereignty of Volunteer Fire Department

Your candidate for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells Louis Kutzke applies fiscally conservative strategies to keep the cost of living for residents at a tolerable level.  This involves employing strategies to meet the essential need while saving residents money.

This is important as the City of Wisconsin Dells is a small resort community with a population of less than 3 thousand people.  The primary revenue producing industry is a short summer tourist season.

The Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Department has evolved to professionally deliver this essential service that efficiently cares for the communities needs.  The Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Department has been good stewards of their resources and assembled an attractive portfolio of assets.

The Municipality under the influence of a massive debt load ( north of 30 million dollars) has considered taking over the Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Department.  This would give the Municipality immediate access to the Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Departments built up assets.

The Municipality could then add the Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Departments assets in to their financial ledger as a way to appear more favorable with audit processes.  This becomes a trade line on the City of Wisconsin Dells annual budget facilitating larger amounts on the monthly billing of residents for fire and safety services.

This increases the monthly cost of a resident residing in the City of Wisconsin Dells.  The monthly utility bill for fire protection would experience an earth shattering increase.  Families must pay more and land lords pass this fee on to renters.  This activity describes the Municipality monetizing Fire Service for the community as a way to make more revenue.

Your candidate for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells Louis Kutzke will maintain the sovereignty of the Kilbourn Volunteer Fire Department and save our citizens a lot of money.  Please vote Louis Kutzke for mayor of the City of Wisconsin Dells on February 20th in the primary election and then again on April 3rd in the general election.
