That levy’s coming around…

Eric Jangard signs up Cathy Cole as a levy supporter at the County Fair....
The school district was faced with massive cuts last year, and came up with a solution: Cut sports, but ask folks to restore them but voting in favor of a levy that would run the funds through Island Rec (the school district isn’t able to levy the amount).
The vote is in early November – check here on the Island Rec site for more information.

Ian, Thanks for posting this. We also have an opportunity to save 4-H and other “publically mandated” services in November by voting for the levy lift that will be on the ballot in November. For San Juan Islanders, both these levies together will save services and programs our seniors and children need on our island. With a 60 cent per thousand bond ending in December, we will actually be coming out ahead with lower property taxes even with these two levies passed. I encourage everyone to get the scoop from your County Council Members.
Thanks!
