As I read a recent letter asking people to vote against Evergreen Public Schools’ bond I was reminded of a quote by a former neighbor, a Boeing engineer: “Children are the future. I always vote yes for anything for the schools.”
I have followed his advice in every election in which I have voted. I’m 75 and now I’m the past. Perhaps someone would say I would have voted differently if I had understood the issues. I vote the way I do because I do understand the issues.
My main tax concern, which I have no say over, is how the federal government spends the taxes I pay every year. I am especially concerned about the over $2,000 per year, per person in the USA, that goes to killing innocent people and destroying their towns and countries. I’ll worry about local school funding when I see a reduction in Department of Defense spending and better leadership in Washington.
