Pflugerville Fire Department & Prop A: Mayor warns of impacts

PFLUGERVILLE, Texas (KXAN) -- Things are heating up in the battle over Prop A in Pflugerville. It has to do with a half-percent sales tax and whether or not voters want to keep it.

Emergency Services District Two (ESD 2), otherwise known as the Pflugerville Fire Department, says it would have to close fire stations and lay off firefighters if the proposition passes.

"[Passing] this would defund the fire department. This would reduce our budget by approximately 40%," Chief Nick Perkins previously told KXAN.
