We are not wealthy, far from it in fact in Seattle with under a six figure income. But kid is not FRL either. We understand the value in quality public education. We vote for every education levy as well.<br />-another voice Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-20458739723654488462017-02-13T13:41:57.001-08:002017-02-13T13:41:57.001-08:00Tax me!

I vote yes for every education levy. But don't stop at taxing me. Tax the big corporations, too. And tax my wealthy, retired in-laws on the Olympic Peninsula. And my own wealthy, retired parents in Grant County. Today's school students are the folks who are going to be administering the medications in their nursing homes in a decade or two. Let's make sure the kids get a good enough education to read the labels correctly. Or get into med school if that's what they want.
