MOUNT GILEAD Village Fire Chief Chad Swank wants to do more. With an annual operating budget right around $400,000, a need to increase wages and upgrade equipment were reasons for seeking help from village residents.
They will vote on a 0.25 percent levy increase on income on the Aug. 3 special election ballot.
“We do a lot, but we can do a lot more, especially in the area of prevention,” Swank said.
