“Perhaps they will declare all tax exemptions unconstitutional and use that source of revenue to fund public education,” she said. “The court cannot raise taxes or change the tax system, but they can declare legislation unconstitutional.”
“That looks like authorizing $50 million, more or less, by the end of the five-year period,” she said. “In order to implement this bill, the Wall Street Party only had to appropriate $10 million this year, anticipating $20 million next year, $30 million the next, etc. Where will that money come from?
"Hopefully the Supreme Court will declare this charter bill unconstitutional in a very short time. Or perhaps the representatives of the Wall Street Party will simply decide to change the statutes and use the money accruing from fines levied by the Supreme Court to fund their charter schools.
“The fine is $100,000 per day or one million for every 10 days or $3 million per month. The fines started on Aug. 13, 2015. By April 13, 2016, it will be 7 months.”
“I wonder where they will find the rest of the money, she added.
“Thirty-four water systems in our state need fixing, as do local roads and bridges, sewers and surface water systems,” she said. “Local governments are responsible for maintaining these systems. The Public Works Assistance Account was established due to the recognition that local governments were not able to fund critical projects, including system upgrades.
"All across the state we are dealing with aging infrastructure with very high replacement costs. It is easy to predict that lack of funding is likely to result in system failures all across our state.
“When the Public Works Assistance Account was established in 1985, it was funded by small increases in some utility and real estate taxes. The legislature has now directed these taxes to be deposited in the Education Legacy Account rather than the Public Works Assistance Account.
“This session has been an ongoing process of robbing Peter to pay Paul,” she said. “But the Wall Street Party doesn’t want to tell the citizens just how they are moving money around, shifting from one fund to another, seemingly appearing able to fund important government functions, all to avoid taxing the wealthy.”
“The Constitution is clear in prohibiting the use of the public’s tax dollars to make a profit -- but the Wall Street Party ignores it.
“Of course, we are still No. 1 with the tax system most unfair in the entire United States. Poor working families pay about 25 percent of their personal income in taxes while the Wall Street Party members only pay about 2 percent.”
“Forty-six percent of the children in our state are eligible for free or reduced price lunches,” she added. “You have to be poor to qualify. And we are close to 38,000 homeless school children, most of whom have a sibling and one or two parents. Homeless families in this state represent about 100,000 homeless individuals.”
Authors inspired by fly fishing, nature, commerce, family drama, and what-if will appear at Third Place books, upper level Town Center, intersection of Bothell Way and Ballinger Way in Lake Forest Park.
Lake Forest Park Police Department detectives, supported by Seattle Police, Kirkland Police, and King County Sheriff’s Office resources, arrested a veteran Seattle Police Department supervisor after developing probable cause that he had been engaging in long term abuse of his two daughters, one a teenager and one a young adult.
On April 1, 2016, the Seattle Police Department received a report from the employee’s two daughters alleging abuse. Police personnel notified Chief Kathleen O’Toole and Office of Professional Accountability (OPA) Director Pierce Murphy. Chief O’Toole immediately directed SPD Sexual Assault and Child Abuse detectives to make contact with the two victims.
SPD investigators contacted their Lake Forest Park counterparts upon learning that the alleged actions occurred within their jurisdiction. Lake Forest Park detectives assumed lead of the investigation, supported by SPD.
During the course of the investigation, Lake Forest Park detectives established probable cause for the SPD employee’s arrest, and with coordinated efforts including SPD, Kirkland Police and the Sheriff’s Office, took the employee into custody without incident.
According to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), funds are available from the US Department of Education for low-income students who are eligible for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge Capstone program exams.
Qualified low-income students will pay $15 per exam. This is a $3 increase from last year’s reduced rate of $12 per exam.
There is no limit to the number of exams a student may take.
More information here on the program, and how students qualify for the fee reduction.
