It was great to see the folks in Great Falls approve the $1.6 million levy request last night. The elementary levy was approved 54% – 45% and the high school levy was approved 54% – 46%.
I supported the levy. Congratulations to the pro-levy folks.
The levy will cost the average homeowner $14 per year. In my opinion, it’s a pretty easy way to show support for the kids in Great Falls – it’s an investment – and this time common sense won out.
Voters also elected Jan Cahill, Don Ryan, and Jason Brantley to three seats on the school board.
Candidate Cyndi Baker finished fourth out of seven candidates – 286 votes behind Brantley.
