So far turnout is only 20 percent. Our story from last month includes a list of 10 West Seattle projects included in Prop 2 fundiing.

When will people learn that the school budgets need an audit! 60% of our property taxes are going to the schools and it’s still not enough.

So far turnout is only 20 percent – as noted above. Perhaps if more people voted the outcome would be closer. The school levy should be on the fall ballot when more people participate in voting and not in middle of winter on special ballots when fewer people vote.

Sorry, comment time is over.
