White-elephant fire station

EDITOR,
We taxpayers have sent a clear message and voted down the Scotts Valley fire station (Press-Banner, June 5). Now our children and their children (who can’t vote yet) have the privilege to fund this white elephant courtesy of Joe Camel’s stimulus money.
If you’re going to build it, put in a coffee bar along with that weight room. Seeing that big white engine sitting in front of Starbucks is getting old.
