WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2016 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opt out of health survey cy services. Please, introduce your- selves, I would like to meet you. My phone number is 541-289-0782. You are welcome to call if you don’t want the enhanced services, also. The Hermiston City Council, the County Commission and the ¿re chief are “all in” on this proposal to combine ¿re districts, costing (only) rural residents more taxes.

Who has access to this information and what is it being used for? Talk to a school of¿cial to make sure that your child is not subject to this. Compose an “Opt-Out” letter with your signature advising that you be personally consulted before your child is submitted to any sur- vey. Ask for access to information on the school website. Parents need to continually re- mind the school that their job is edu- cation not health care. We citizens of Hermiston care about who decides personal issues for our youth.

From what I’ve read you all want to pay more ta[es for enhanced ¿re emergen- HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 how to get more revenue. So, let’s just jump outside the city limits and plunder the dispersed rural minority. This scheme is actually promoted as more services within city and no tax increase. *o ¿gure.
