College township residents should be involved in the decision to contract with Mount Vernon EMS/Fire services instead of the current College Township EMS/Fire services. Having already had their taxes increased—in an effort to buy time for the township to secure more funding to keep the fire department running—the residents deserve to have their opinions heard before the Mount Vernon City Council votes on the proposed contract. This contract could leave the Gambier fire station unmanned until December 1, 2021. The College Township residents, including Kenyon students and faculty, must demand a town hall so that this crucial information can be shared and understood by all. PLEASE NO DONATIONS.
