Spokane Ballot Measures
Depending on where you live, you may have the below city races on your ballot.
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.
