That's certainly your right as a voter; but just remember that you get what you pay for.
The 9-1-1 surcharge on phone bills really is the most effective way to fund a dispatch operation. We tried a ballot initiative 2 years ago to increase it, which failed. So we had to resort to charging each agency we dispatch for a fee per call for service. The larger, busier agencies pay more, the townships whose fire departments don't run medical calls pay less. A jurisdiction that has a public safety department gets "double-dipped" so to speak. This also forced us to create a billing mechanism, and for our admin staff to allocate time to do the accounting and billing. My point is that if you expect emergency services to show up when you need them, you are going to pay for it one way or the other; either on your phone bill or in your property taxes.
