||| FROM JOHN ERLY |||
You must have received your Voting Ballot today. It made me go to the County Assessor page and see what I am paying to support the “Island Health Care District”, about .41 cents per thousand.
The problem is the assessor says we are a “Hospital District”. I believe they are wrong.
My question is, Is the $0.70/$1,000., a new tax, or does it include $0.41, I am paying now. Also, I must have missed any discussions about this levy.

John, plenty of discussion. Scroll back through the articles. The first article I posted was March 10th and there’s probably upwards of a dozen since. Another should come out today if I can get it formatted right!
Please vote NO.
They made promises they intentionally did not keep.
24/7 care NEVER HAPPENED
help to cover many medical partners NEVER HAPPENED
They want .70 cents per thousand on property tax to have all of us subsidize the medical center hours 9-5 not after hour care as promised.
For me that is a $354 increase on my taxes for lies and not being able to use the medical center in an emergency as promised….
They don’t, won’t or can’t tell us what the money will be slated for… Ask what the $ PRICE TAG for a special election is… BECAUSE YOU JUST PAID NEEDLESSLY FOR IT…
JUST VOTE NO so they have to run like any other business and figure it out… are you tired of pay tax increases for others mistakes…
