School bond is too expensive

| January 12, 2017 2:00 AM

The Moses Lake School Board is proposing a $135 million school bond for the February ballot. We are currently paying off three school bonds that go into 2028 which are worth around $25 million. If the proposed school bond passes, Moses Lake will have the highest school levy in the state. My portion of property taxes that school taxes represent is 51.4 percent. And if the $135 million bond passes, coupled with the recent increased assessment on business and residential properties, our taxes could be much higher.

Please vote no on this very expensive Moses Lake school bond.
