Viewer urges voters to support school renewal levy

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 5, 2010 - 6:09am

Icon viewers:

As a member of the Committee for Better Schools, I am urging voters to VOTE "YES" for our schools! It is a renewal of an existing 1/2% Income Tax for Permanent Improvements, it is not a new tax. There are many improvements that have been made to the schools and many more that are needed to be completed.
