LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sultan school bond price tag too high

Generally we support school bonds that enhance educational opportunities. However, we cannot support the Sultan School Bond Measure as structured.-á The current proposal is exorbitantly expensive creating an additional tax burden that the average Sultan School District resident cannot afford. Voters need to know that the additional tax for the average homeowner will be $700 per year.-á The annual tax will continue to increase with higher property valuations over the twenty year duration of the Bond. That adds up to a minimum of $14,000. We strongly urge District voters to vote NO.

Stan Heydrick,

Sultan
