Rossville fire board OKs putting bond proposal on ballot

ROSSVILLE – The Rossville Area Fire Protection District board voted unanimously Monday night to put a bond proposal on the November ballot to pay for the new fire station.

The board hopes November's vote goes as smoothly as Monday's, and that's why the board is already planning an informational campaign that will lead up to the general election on Nov. 4.
