County 911 ballot measures pass By Keith PurtellPhoenix Staff Writer “It’s something we need to do,” Coffey said. “It seems like 90 percent of people go with cell phones any more. My wife and I both have cell phones; we don’t even have a land line.”
Banker Sheri Greene, 38, said the expected extra fee each month had her full support. “I voted yes for the charge on my wireless, because I do not have a land line,” she said. “It is important to me, since I live by myself. I think it’s important that we have the 911 accessibility. I didn’t have to consider it; that was my first thought, because 911 is a wonderful thing. My safety is worth a little bit more to me than 50 cents a month.” And equipment operator Don Cubit, 41, said he has used 911 once and voted for the proposed upgrades. “I think it’s very important,” he said. “I had to use 911 once when my mother went into a diabetic coma. They responded pretty good; everything went well. One of the reasons I called them was that she had an alarm on her house and wanted to tell them in advance that I was going to have to kick down the door. That was about two years ago. “Anything that can help with 911 process is very necessary. You never know when you’re going to need help.” Reach Keith Purtell at 918-684-2925 or Click Here to Send Email
