Thanks go to the 66 islanders who signed the national petition to raise the volunteer fire fighter tax credit from $3,000 to $10,000. This would allow tax relief of about $450 to fire fighters giving more than 200 hours to their communities.
If you signed the petition that was circulated at Soup’s On, did you know that you can also sign the electronic petition and you get counted twice? And those who didn’t sign the paper copy, you could sign the online electronic form. Here is the link:

Thank you all for your continuing support of our local volunteer fire fighters and all of the small volunteer departments across the country.
