John Fink Quotations

Our board looked at merging two years ago and decided against it.

We will find another way to present our viewers with the information and results which they deserve. We just wish we could go out and cover it and have the freedom to cover it as we saw best, that's not the way the rules are set up right now.

Our elected officials won't go against what the public wants. The public still has a say in the process. The election process is cumbersome to decision making.

That's what people have always said, but it's really not accurate anymore,

In four years, we could double in size, really, ... It's a lot of growth to keep up with.

I need these people now, but there isn't any space,

I didn't feel the cost of the election was necessary. I felt elected officials should make these decisions of behalf of the public because they are more informed of the issues.

For someone to dictate to us that after 48 hours, we can no longer use this footage without permission, smacks a little bit of censorship number one. And number two, it's just, basically, unfair.

The fire districts' elected officials are more in tune with issues involving fire districts. Most of the public doesn't attend the meetings and aren't involved in the process.
