Vote Yes on Issaquah Proposition 3 to improve school transportation
-
Proposition No. 3 is a new levy for the Issaquah School District and is aimed at securing new buses and retiring old and more costly-to-operate vehicles. With a service area of over 110 square miles and 1.4 million miles traveled a year, an upgrade to the district's bus fleet means better safety standards and fuel and maintenance savings. Unlike the other propositions on the April ballot, the bus levy is only planned for 2023. At a cost of $.07 per $1,000 in assessed value, the owner of a median $1 million Issaquah home could expect to pay about $70 next year.

Vote YES for the Spokane Proposition 1 To Maintain Emergency Medical Services
-
When a loved one is having an emergency, the last thing you want to consider is whether emergency services have enough funding to respond. But according to the Spokane Fire Department, by the end of this year, levy funds for the city of Spokane's emergency medical services will run out, forcing cuts to advanced and basic life support services, in addition to losing 20 fire and medic companies.
To continue services at the current level, voters are being asked to approve a replacement levy for the expiring 2022 levy. The tax rate remains the same at a rate of $.50 per $1,000 in assessed property value, enabling the city to fund emergency services from 2023 through 2028. This would cost the owner of a $380,000 home approximately $190 a year.
A strong emergency services department is a necessity of a healthy, modern city. Vote Yes on City of Spokane Proposition No. 1 to continue funding our emergency medical services in the years to come.

Vote YES on Issaquah Proposition 1

Every child deserves a quality education, and the three propositions on this year's ballot will ensure that all Issaquah School District students can thrive. If passed, Proposition No. 1 will renew the expiring educational programs and operations levy, providing critical services to students.
The funding from the levy provides nearly 16 percent of the district's total revenue. Resources that the state doesn't fund are covered by this levy, including school nurses, counselors, mental health services, family partnerships and equity programs, extracurriculars, and athletics. Other services funded by the levy are special education, multilingual programs, custodial services, and maintenance.
At a rate of $1.43 per $1,000 in assessed value in 2023 and 2024, which drops to $1.42 in 2025 and 2026, the owner of a $1 million home would pay approximately $1,430 per year.

Vote Yes on Proposition 2 To Maintain and Improve Issaquah Schools

Modern facilities and up-to-date technology are critical to learning. If approved Proposition No. 2, the Renewal Capital Levy, will renew the expiring levy to continue funding technology, building safety repairs and maintenance, and the construction of a new high school.
A yes vote would renew the levy at a rate of $.73 per $1,000 in assessed value for 2023, with subsequent rates of $.81, $.78, and $.75 in 2024 through 2026. This means that the owner of a median $1 million Issaquah home would pay $730 in 2023.
Without up-to-date technology in and out of the classroom and well-maintained facilities, our students won't get the education they need to thrive. Issaquah high schools are currently over capacity. According to the district, Issaquah High and Skyline have two of the largest high school enrollment levels in the state of Washington.
