Levy ballots arrived to homes yesterday and today, as you, once again, to vote yes or no on spending your tax dollars to supplement the schools.

we've been impressed with Washougals efforts to get the facts out - mailing information to voters in an effort to make an intelligent decision.Even reducing taxes - If I lived in Washougal, I'd vote yes for their levy.

We can't say the same for Camas. They've chosen to send "vote Yes" promotionals and have yet to explain the details of WHY they want to raise our taxes 8%. Either they think the public is too dumb to understand, or the public is too apathetic to care (which there is some truth in that one) or they have a sense of arrogance that the public will just vote "yes" because Camas schools just ask for it.

Rumors are circulating that even IF the Camas Levy passes, there will be staff cutbacks.

Is the Board and Administration correct? Are we too apathetic to care to vote or care to add another 8% to our taxes?
When it comes to school levies, is there a tipping point when the voters so NO to $100,000+ administrative salaries, top heavy administrative employment vs. teachers and front line employees, no to 11 football coaches, and other indulgences?
