Don't know what it is about this community, Bill, but I've voted for every tax levy to benefit the schools since moving here 15 years ago, and they never seem to pass! I've heard those stats in the past, and as much as I don't like voting for tax increases or paying more myself, I certainly don't like seeing the kids get short changed. Given the demographics of the area, you'd think people would be more willing to invest in their kids' education, but....

Don't know...I think it just comes down to voter turnout? Don't know if a mail-in ballot will generate more votes, or less?
