Spokane Votes 'No' on $200,000,000
School Bond.

Plus Interest (They do not Mention) to about $350,000,000.   
It works out to about $900.00 added To My Annual Property tax bill.

There is another Levy for Maintenance, Pork over the next 20 years.
This will add Even more to Property Tax.  They are still Counting this one?? I suspect it is failing too!!
I will know by the end of the day.  

Spokane has Passed these bonds for 50 years, and I think they are going to make 
The Schools Wait until things Change from the current Status of our State and Country.
They already receive the largest piece of the pie, that the property Taxes Citizens pay. 

The State has gone Liberal Nuts trying to get Massive Pork, Tax Money, Agenda Driven Anti Dams, public land and green Laws passed, because they are worried about public Backlash...enough is enough.

That bullshit is being tried by our local school district. They wanted to build a new school because the old school isn't safe enough...well hell....the parochial school kids used it when their facility was destroyed by a storm for 3 yrs. They hired some esg outfit out of the liberal city of Minneapolis to consult and plan this bulsshit. Paid alot of money to them ....our money. It got defeated soundly...well now they are wanting a ppl.....more like an open check book....no budget, and they are being sneaky about it. No one seems to know it is coming up in march...I am so tired of these bastards and their bullshit. Of course anyone is eligible to vote. I think we should change it so only property owners can vote whether we want to pay for their pie in the sky bullshit.
On another note, our local fire department wants to build a new firehouse. Old one was destroyed in a storm in 2020. The local town says they are waiting on fema money. Bullshit I say..build the damn firehouse like the old one only use a steel frame structure rather than wood. Again they hired an outfit to design a new firestation to the tune of 5 million dollars. Well it is made out of glass mostly , so everyone can see their shiny firetruck. All this eyewash bullshit. I am going to a meeting Thursday night and plan on giving my most likely unpopular opinion. Build it solid and simple to with stand winter cold blizzards and summer storms.
Can you tell I am pissed about paying more than my fair share?

sandbur, I agree with you, I am getting tired of all the wanta haves spending my money for top of the line stuff when it isn't really needed. Plain and simple works for me.

The schools hire a lot of administrators just to find ways to grab more of the taxpayers money. Most of the elected school board members are dodo birds that go along with the program, instead of trying to make them meet a budget.

You do realize that in the early days of this country, only property owning men could vote on things. What idiot wanted to change that?

You nailed it Bill! I grilled our school board candidates before I voted. I voted for the least liberal one....I wouldn't say any of them are conservative.

A year ago they tried to raise our taxes by 200%. for the first time ever, I voted no on a school bill. And about 2/3 of the county!

Across the State in Loony Land, The School District Superintendent With her $278,000 annual salary.
Was caught yanking Election signs in favor of 'Vote No' on school bond.
She was caught by Game Camera and opponents waiting for her to Yank the signs.

Both of their Bonds Failed, and in true fashion of eating their own the District Suspended her and she will likely be looking for work in another State. She should be Jailed and sent to the Slop lines they have helped create, to serve the Homeless for a community service Gig.

After all Election Fraud is not a school district offense, but they seem to think doing this is Ok, because they typically get away with it.

45,000 people Voted in the Election out of City with 220,000 residents of which 150,000, minimum are registered Voters. Needed 60% to pass and the Yes votes were at about 56%.
Curious how many of that 56% actually Did the Math before they Voted?

Thanks for those Paying attention enough to save us a bunch of money for the next 20 years.
