Signs appeared Monday throughout Camas echoing the sentiment of over-taxed property owners dissatisfied with the Camas School Districts’ Levy increase under the ruse of a “replacement” levy.

Levy proponents have done a good job of encouraging voters to “Vote for Schools” without explaining how much of an increase they will see in their property taxes if they vote “yes”. Assuming voters will just vote “yes”.

 

Property owners are not convinced CSD has trimmed administrative costs including high administrative salaries, bulging administrator positions (vice-principles, etc.) wasteful programs – sacrificing teacher jobs and front line support jobs. All the while, building new schools and an new football stadium in the middle of a recession. While voters are struggling with economic pressures – the schools are building like crazy and trying to raise taxes in the form of a levy.

 

NOT NOW!
