Come to the City Council meeting on February 8th at 6:30 and show your support for changing the way these property taxes are distributed.

The study session is now 5:00 to 6:30 PM. Please, if you support closing down Shoreline and/or at least assuring our elementary district its full $5.9 million in property taxes from that area - show up. Even just come to City Hall at five for a half hour!
Google profits are now over $5,400,000,000. There is really no moral justification for keep sing this company's property taxes from the schools. And certainly not from the elementary district.
