I say, no more taxes... to the school's and the city of Kent.
The city and schools are going to have to make do just like the rest of us. I dont know why any of us would vote for the school tax levy if the school system was able to get such high marks w/ distinction on the State Tests with no added funding. Does that even make sense?
That is such a telling statement to me that you- or anyone- would associate not wanting a raise in taxes as a PUNISHMENT to someone/something else. why can't it just be: we don't have the money. no punishment/ reward involved.
