Yakima WA - FD budget problems

https://www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/government/unfilled-positions-an-issue-for-yakima-police-fire-departments-as-city-mulls-budget-cutbacks/article_aa10d418-437a-11ee-9119-937bd0cd2948.html

city got $26M in ARPA funds in 2021 and 2022

city spent $1M on FD OT + $7.5M on 57 new cop cars and 3 fire engines

now they are down staffing fire stations due to a lack of $$$

they want a new EMS tax to help fund the FD
