Wendy and I talked with you a bit at the opening day meeting about the Simple Majority campaign. It's maybe the most important piece of school legislation that we've ever had a chance to vote on. It only cover school levies--school bond issues will still require a 60% supermajority, for better or worse--but 50% + 1 is a far fairer standard that what we have now.
The link above will take you to the home page for the Simple Majority 2007 campaign, where you can find all the information that you'd ever want to share with friends and family. Simply Better Schools also has a great website (with video!), and the Washington State School Directors Association has a great information resource here.
Sally McNair, our Uniserv rep, is the prime local contact for the simple majority in Eastern Washington, and she'd be more than happy to talk with you about what it all means. Ryan also has tons of information from the Council; if you have any questions, either can help you out!
