Talk to your family, friends and neighbors

Talk to everyone you know within the City of Grants Pass! Tell them information is available on this website (www.gpfirepolice.com). Inform them of the reasons YOU are voting YES for the levy. Let them know the many ways they can get involved and why it is so important.

Often people are confused about a couple main points. Common mistakes are related to not realizing the levy becomes $0 on July 1, 2009 unless this levy passes; the rate is based on assessed value which is typically low in Josephine County; and the two new fire stations were approved by voters in 2006 and are not related to this levy.
