Great Levy Results!

Hi friends,

Just going over the levy results, and a couple of pieces that I think we can all be quite proud of:

1) We had the highest passing percentage of any district in Spokane County, the only one to get over 70%.
2) The lowest precinct was Deep Creek, but even there it passed with 55% positive.
3) The highest precinct was Fairchild AFB, with an 85% passing rate.
4) Deer Park, Reardan, and Riverside would all have failed their M&O levies if it hadn't been for the Simple Majority. On the flip side, the City of Spokane barely "passed" their bond issue to renovate public facilities, but city bonds are still supermajority issues, so it fails despite getting 51% of the vote.

It's a happy day. I'd go frolic in a meadow, but it's too damned cold.

Thanks to all of you for the work you did on the levy--this makes the coming months much easier than they would have been otherwise!
