Fire Services Poll Result Continues
In this space yesterday Lynda Flannery, president of the St. Albert Taxpayers Association contacted me and wondered if local firefighters themselves might have skewed the results of a local blog’s online poll.
As you can see below, by the screen shot I took of the poll, the results are very one-sided. So much so that there leaves little room for doubt that the poll has been manipulated by some special interest group to skew the results to falsely show that 91% of local taxpayers support higher taxation to finance fire protection.
We continue our poll again today to see if we will get the same result:
Free Web Poll
Yesterday’s result indicates that a huge majority of taxpayers are firmly against higher taxation to finance fire protection with 94% voting “NO”. This of course is a 180 degree turn in the other poll’s results and likely much closer to the true opinion of local citizens. You can read the entire story from yesterday in the archives at the lower left of this page.

Meanwhile, here are yesterday’s results from our poll:
