Just build a firehouse?

Dear Editor,

Just a few thoughts about building a new firehouse\police\city offices. I feel we need a new fire house -- they are definitely very crowded and unsafe. Before we spend millions of tax dollars -- let's look at just a new firehouse at this time, we could always do more when things are better.

Many towns and cities are in trouble because they have lived above their means, and McCook is not growing. We have been losing people, and new city buildings are not going to help grow McCook.

When the fire department moves out, the police department could expand into the fire department.

You have the bays that police could put their cars in and equipment to keep out of the harsh elements, then remodel the old space in the fire department for more privacy for interviewing victims and the suspects, problem solved.

Thank you, just one of the "we the people" speaking out.

Charlie Thieben,

McCook
