School Levies Pass 9 to 6

Times-Survival-Article-print.jpgBy now we don’t have to tell you that both Seattle Public School (what-what) levies are passing, it’s what everyone is talking about.

The levies will continue an existing property tax that will pay for new buildings and renovations on existing schools, as well as basic educational programs.

We did our part last night, and may have been the only ones.

Our polling place happens to be a school, and we always feel that these buildings should be dressed up to help sway the vote. Maybe sprinkle ceiling tiles on the stairs, have older kids eating chalk, and fill the technology rooms with Apple II GSs and Zunes.

It’s probably not worth the effort because when we arrived at 6pm we were told that we, along with Seattlest Seth, were numbers thirty-eight and thirty-nine to vote at that location. Not only that but we were also only the second person to wait in line. Suck on that Northeastern Ohio.

We won’t have to worry about lines or awkward stares from lonely poll workers during March's fake Viaduct vote, because it’s going to be all mail. Get your stamps ready Seattle.
