Hello Communications and PR Director,
Apparently, my wife didn't vote for any of the levies. The District needs to transmit ACCURATE levy information to the LW Citizens Levy Committee! And once transmitted OVERSEE the Committee to be sure they don't warp the facts! In this case, the District dropped the ball!
I was following the Committee's promotional mailers touting NO NEW TAXES, when in fact there is a new tax per FAQ.
I could have reported this malfeasance to King County Elections prior to certification but didn't want to risk the chance of a failed election.
The District needs to get with the program or it will bite you later. Director, please oversee the Committee from beginning to end. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteBob Yoder I do agree that it would be good if somebody at the district was paying attention and would at least pick up the phone informally and tell the campaign when anything they're saying is incorrect.
I mean, the fact is that RCW 42.17A.555 does not prohibit public employees and elected officials from participating in ballot measure campaigns ON THEIR OWN TIME. When Kirkland did our fire ballot measure back in 2020, several city council members and city staff people helped with the campaign on our own time, off city property, not using city resources in any way. I would be surprised if that wasn't also true with the LWSD ballot measure campaign. You would think that somebody would have noticed that something was off.
