Letters | Vote to keep city’s basics


November 1, 2012 · 5:15 PM

Friends and neighbors in Snoqualmie—when completing your ballot for mailing in less than a week, please be sure to go to the very last section and vote “yes” on Proposition 1. This levy provides critical funding for maintaining public safety (police and fire protection), parks and roads at existing levels.

City government and employees have worked together to control costs for the past decade, but increasing costs have outstripped income to the point this first-time ever operating levy is being requested. It is now up to each of us: If you want our city to continue to provide the same level of basic services as it has been doing, please vote yes on Proposition 1. I will.
