<p>You probably know better than I, Dale, since I was a young lad growing up in Scottville at the time. The Daily News always referred to it as a 'new' fire hall in their coverage, so I assumed it had been either newly constructed or a greatly remodeled structure, since I never heard otherwise when I was on the department. </p>
<p>Oddly enough, the city assessor site has been down all day into this evening so I cannot further verify the age of the structure. Maybe they are busy making tidy…</p>

All involved the same cast of characters. I can't locate that article so I was wondering, when you have time, if you could find that article and post a link?

God only knows what these officials are doing, in order to fill their pockets with ill gained profits at the citizens expense.</p>
