Dear NESPA Colleague,

We need your help. Now, please.

These are the last few days we can influence the Legislature—to stop huge cuts to Northshore. For Northshore and other districts, there is a BIG difference between the Senate and the House budgets. For Northshore, the difference is almost $5 million in cuts---cuts we want to avoid.

The Legislature is meeting this week, even though the Session was to end last week. Why? They have not yet made a decision on the State budget for next year.

You need to help them. Go to www.ourvoicewashingtonea.org and send them a message.

The House budget is far better, but the House hasn’t done enough yet to raise the revenue needed to fund it. Ideas for avoiding drastic cuts to Northshore and other districts include taxing soda, a tax on hazardous materials, and closing a tax loophole that lets big out-of-state banks avoid taxes.

Please send legislators a message now. www.ourvoicewashingtonea.org It’s easy and will take you only a minute.

THANK YOU!!
