In reply to Erik. The levies are not responses to the school-closure debacle. These are renewals (at expanded rates) of levies the district has run for decades as part of its funding. Other districts use these types of levies too.

In reply to J. We don't know what the note(s) said. If it threatened violence, mentioned a weapon, etc., no one is going to "tackle her down."

In reply to Sensible and cautious. 35mm+ tires are not immune from flats from running thru a pile of broken glass!

A five foot Asian woman? No one could tackle her down? I am sure she is pretty harmless. SMH

Ah yes. Knew it would happen. They couldn’t close schools because parents were outraged, so now they have to make up for the deficit with another property tax increase…lovely.

In reply to jacob. Jacob,What happened to the Lottery Money that was supposed to go to Schools? I am tired of having to pay for everyone else and them not having to work just putting their hands out saying we need more, we need more. My Tabs are supposed to go to Road taxes, the Roads are worse then ever. We pay more and more in property taxes only for it to go into someone elses pockets not what it was intended for.

In reply to Amy. Property taxes are voted on, not just raised at a whim.

I was visiting and lending a hand earlier this week. So much goodness happening down there and seems for the most part that folx are out of the cold and safe almost solely because of donations from our WS community! Over the few hrs I was there several people stopped by with donations and they were immediately put to good use!

In reply to WSzombie. They're the same. And your Ring camera (likely 1080 or 2K tops) is not saving a stream of footage. H264 encoded 1080p res needs 800k TB of storage. Yours is offloading any motion stream of a couple hundred megs of compressed video to a cloud server. Not even close to comparable. Go tell the bank they need a storage rack of nearly $20 grand in costs plus additional maintenance and rebasing costs for their 30-40 cameras. Banks can't put their streams into a cloud server or even use Wifi like your little doorbell cam.

I see on their website they also accept cash donations but never see that mentioned in their announcements. Do they prefer material donations rather than cash? Sometimes I’d like to donate supplies, but find myself short on time for shopping and getting over there in the donation window.
