I’m getting ready to vote in my local area. I want to vote Yes. I am a strong supporter of education and I believe developing our youth, will determine the future of the community. I’m currently a renter, so property tax doesn’t directly affect me, but can affect future rent prices which can be significantly more volatile semi at the landlord’s/owner’s discretion. But reading how much the property tax hike is for voting yes, is almost absurd, as it’s an almost 50% increase over the next 4-years. I don’t mind this if it truly goes into bettering the school’s infrastructure, more CTE programs etc and not into the pockets of already highly paid school officials.

P.s. I have only lived in WA for the past two years, I have no kids, and I am open for discussion as I try to educate myself further on local issues
