Extend fire sales tax

To the concerned citizens of Cape Girardeau:The Cape Girardeau Fraternal Order of Police Regional Lodge 51 does unanimously support the continuation of the fire tax.

We encourage the citizens of Cape Girardeau to cast their vote on Nov. 4. We have reviewed the proposal and ask for the citizens to continue their support of the fire department. The tax will provide equipment and facilities that are essential to ensure the fire department's effectiveness and efficiency. We support the city of Cape Girardeau Fire Department and ask citizens to please remember to vote "yes" on Nov. 4 to continue the fire tax.
