Its because NORMAL states, base it on a county tax. My parents are the same way, itasca county takes the tax which is given to Big Forks fire department. Why this state is different i have no idea.
My main balk on this thread is not so much that a $x00,000 house was destroyed by a $75 fee (which is fucked up when they could have just charged the owner a penalty instead) , but because of Glenn Beck and Pat Greys attitude towards the situation, making fun, mocking and picking on this family because of their situation.
On a brighter note, the son of the father, walked into the fire department and punched out the Chief. I would have done the same :Applaud:
