WHO WANTS TO TAKE A TRIP? WE HAVE TWO EXOTIC VACATIONS LINED UP AND IT’S YOUR CHOICE. THE MONARCH CONCERNED TAXPAYERS ARE SURE THE UNION BOSSES AND THEIR HAND-PICKED CANDIDATE MILLER WILL GLADLY SERVE AS OUR GUIDES

OPTION ONE INCLUDES:
1. The weekly paychecks of the nearly destitute Monarch Union members (six figure wages for most of them, how do they survive?).
2. The BLOATED retirement accounts of the mistreated Monarch Union members (five figure annual contributions by taxpayers with nothing required of the Union members, how will they ever retire?).
3. The nearly three months of annual paid vacations, sick pay and other “freebies” given to most of the Monarch Union members (how many of us can stop working each October and be paid through the end of the year?).
4. The work schedule enjoyed by Monarch Union members by which they only work 2-3 days a week and while it is a 24 hour shift, it includes no scheduled work after 12:00 p.m., except for emergency calls (who would like to be paid an average of nearly $30 per hour to sleep?).

OPTION TWO INCLUDES
1. The scrap yard of fire trucks and ambulances the Monarch Union claims it is forced to use in order to put out fires and attend to medical emergencies (The Union Bosses claim they don’t have resources and equipment).
2. The lawsuits initiated by the Monarch Union Bosses that lead to annual expenses to taxpayers of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
3. All of the burned down houses in Monarch that resulted from the Board not providing safety for the residents of the Fire District (after all Monarch residents are not getting fire protection).
4. All of the deceased Monarch residents who died as a result of the Board not providing safety for the residents of the Fire District.
5. All of the negative budgets passed by the Monarch Board that resulted in borrowing from banks, payday loan offices and residents in order to make ends meet (how does the Fire District even manage to stay open if things are this bad).
6. Pictures of all of the Monarch Union members who were so fed up that they quit and went somewhere better (a blank page will do).

QUICK! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

by Monarch Concerned Taxpayers on March 26th, 2015 at 4:25 PM

The Monarch Concerned Taxpayers are trying to understand how the Monarch Union and the Union Bosses let things get so bad at the Monarch Fire District.  To read the Union tell of it, lives and property are in jeopardy, the District is practically broke and it is all the fault of Robin Harris.  This is one powerful man!

But we are not the fools the Union Bosses believe us to be and just like in 2013, 2011, 2009, 2007 and 2005, the Union wants us to believe the Monarch Fire District is on the brink of total collapse.  How dumb do they think we are?

A vote for the Union Bosses’ candidate Miller is a vote to return to the two years of Union control of our tax dollars, tax increases, bond issues, huge raises, higher pensions, billing for ambulance service and all of the other goodies they are salivating to put in their pockets.  Miller is their ticket to paradise, if only they can just sneak her past the voters.

But we will not be fooled again like too many of us were in 2007 and 2011.

The Monarch Concerned Taxpayers endorse Robin Harris for Director in the April 7 Election.

“MILLER IS NOT THE UNION CANDIDATE”? THINK AGAIN!

by Monarch Concerned Taxpayers on March 23rd, 2015 at 10:03 PM

  • “Miller is NOT the Union candidate”
  • “Miller is running independent of Union support”
  • “Miller says her campaign is Taxpayers for Miller so the Union can’t be involved.”

Well guess again.  Looks like the Union Bosses are up to their old tricks and Miller is their latest pawn in their effort to control our Fire District and our tax dollars.

Watch you mail and wait for the phone calls from the Union Bosses in support of sweet innocent Kelley Miller.  You will see the proof firsthand.

WHO WAS THAT NICE MAN OR WOMAN COMING TO MY DOOR TO ASK MY SUPPORT FOR KELLEY MILLER IN THE MONARCH BOARD ELECTION?

by Monarch Concerned Taxpayers on March 14th, 2015 at 10:50 PM

“He was just so nice and SO handsome”.  “She said the firemen need Miller to be elected so they won’t be treated so badly”.  “He said if I don’t vote for Miller, there could be less service”.

PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED AND FALL FOR THESE LINES OR ONES LIKE THEM

Many of the men and women coming to the doors of Monarch residents are Union members required by the Union Bosses to knock on doors in an effort to get their handpicked candidate, Kelley Miller elected to the Board.  If the Union Bosses can get this done it will result in HUGE raises for the Monarch firefighters who already make an average of over $130,000 annually in wages in benefits (and they only work 2 ½ days a week).

We have done our homework and determined that control of the Monarch Fire District Board MUST remain with us taxpayers.  Giving control back to the Union Bosses, as was the case from 2011 to 2013 will send taxes soaring with the sole purpose of lining the pockets of the members of the Union!

The Monarch Concerned Taxpayers are grateful that Robin Harris is willing to stand up to the Union on our behalf and we urge taxpayers to vote for him on April 7.

“(I) KNOW ENOUGH TO PROBABLY BE DANGEROUS”

“(I) KNOW ENOUGH TO PROBABLY BE DANGEROUS”  –Kelley Miller, Monarch Open Board Meeting Minutes 11/20/2014

The Monarch Concerned Taxpayers have witnessed the Union’s never ending effort to seize control of the Monarch Fire District Board of Directors.  While we certainly never supported their hand-picked candidates Evans, Flauter, Swyers and McNary, we will admit the Union did a credible job of picking candidates.  That is up until now.

This time they have picked a candidate who just moved to the Fire District, never voted in a Fire District election and in the short time since she attended her first Board meeting has hopped from job to job.  This is the same woman who stated she may know enough to be dangerous??

What the heck will she do if she is elected?  That’s simple.  Serve as the puppet and mouthpiece for the Monarch Union Bosses to raise their pay, increase their benefits and raise our taxes.

Give us a break!  This one is laughable.  That is why the choice this time is easier than ever before and why we support Robin Harris for the Monarch Board.

April 2, 2013 We voters sent a resounding message to the Union that we want the taxpayer candidate, Jane Cunningham to represent us on the Monarch Board of Directors

April 7, 2015 When asked again to pick between Union control of the Board of Directors or taxpayer control, we could not have been more clear. Robin Harris was elected in a landslide with 63% of the vote.

Join us in our ongoing efforts to keep control of our tax dollars. Let us hear from you!
