Unhappy with increasing city, school taxes in Edmonds

I am a long-time resident of Edmonds, since 1970. I own a home in city limits so I pay property taxes that are always on the rise. I do mean always.

I do realize that despite my best efforts to not vote yes on levies they always seem to pass. I just noticed the proposal for a new College Place Elementary and Middle School. How can we afford to do that when we have budget shortfalls?

In other news, the city of Edmonds has announced it has a shortfall of $14 million. And that they would like to pass a special vote having all the residents pay so they won’t sell Francis Anderson Center. Why should we be on the hook for Edmonds City Council”s bad math? Again.
