Fire department gives up user fee money
The Herald Bulletin - Fire department gives up user fee money: "ANDERSON, Ind. — The Anderson Fire Department will give up part of its ambulance user fee collections, set aside to maintain equipment and fire stations, to help pay for its salaries in the midst of a city budget crisis"
