Videos from October 2019 made as I was becoming more aware of the means and methods Fort Walton Beach City was using to get the fire assessment fee through under the radar. After several previous attempts by previous council and no success they resorted to basically trying to hide it by calling it a fee, not a tax. Full steam ahead from that point on. I believe they figured it was on the agenda and if taxpayers weren’t paying attention it would go smoothly. They figured wrong but that still didn’t stop them. Overwhelming opposition to the fee was presented prior to and at the meeting yet they passed it anyway.
