Cheney levies take economic issues into account

I just received my ballot for the upcoming levy for the Cheney School District so I am urging everyone to vote yes for this levy. Last year we paid $1.42 per $1,000 in assessed property value for one of the levies and paid 45 cents per $1,000 on the other on our property for total of $1.87. This year’s levies are asking for $1.65 and 10 cents respectively for a total payment of $1.75 per $1,000. We will save 12 per every $1,000 of assessed evaluation. We should all appreciate the school district being aware of everyone’s economic plight.

I am offering the following disclaimer: I entered the first-grade in 1940 remaining in schools either as a student or a teacher until December 1995. Yes, I believe in public education.
