Re: Moscow teachers
Voting on a supplemental levy and polling the voters on
specific issues are two separate and distinct ideas. I do not favor
"polling" the electorate on every decision that comes up, or we would be polling
the electorate for approval of the teacher contract. However, the
supplemental levy was, at one time, voted on every year during May. It was
a useful gauge of public opinion and supplied the teachers with extra funds for
enhanced salaries, reduced workloads, etc. I do feel it would be
worthwhile to again ask the community, once a year, for an opinion sheltered by
the anonymity of the voting booth.
