The unofficial results posted on the Pierce County Auditors Elections webpage show a clean sweep of School Levy’s throughout Pierce County (not including multi-county district levys). This is a clear sign that Pierce County supports education and that it remains important to our communities future. I am personally thankful that the Replacement Levy for the Peninsula School District passed. There were many inaccuracies in the campaign against this levy, but I am happy that most saw through the misdirection and made a sound choice for our community. Click here for up to date results.
Education is the most important service our state provides, and is vital to our economic growth. It is always the first to be reduced but should be the last. I don’t want to get too political here, but we must now not let our elected officials and leaders(?) continue to cut away at our states education funding before making likewise adjustments in their own programs, inflated salaries or benefits (where else is there more wasted tax dollars than there?). Please write, call or email your representatives to let them know that further cuts to education are not an acceptable solution to their inability to balance a budget.
