I would like to comment about the upcoming school levy in Sultan. As someone who is retired and living on a fixed income I fully understand how some people might consider it as expensive and maybe even excessive. Well, folks, we must face the facts that without this new bond our school system will have to continue to try to house about twice as many students as it was built for and who knows what our growth rate might be in the future. What you may not be aware of is that if the levy passes, we will be eligible to receive matching funds of over $9 million. This will make it possible to add a performing arts center plus an additional gym. So, please take time to seriously consider your vote. Keep in mind that this will just take us back to the previous level we voted for and lived with in 2006.
