Seattle Government Schools enrollment falls below 50K, district contemplates school closures.

Fun fact: Seattle’s government schools peak enrollment was in 1964 with 94,000 students. Today, the government schools system can’t handle half the students it had 60 years ago. And the academic performance is ridiculously worse too. But yeah, let’s raise taxes.

@tedlieu Why because they are campaigning with Trump? What a snowflake.

@BillyBobOregon @CommunityNotes - poster is intentionally misleading readers with the mass shooting perpetrators statistic.

Educated readers should review statistics of mass shootings that are not gang related violence or domestic violence. The mass shootings we the people care about.

@KING5Seattle “Without evidence” - great job with that journalistic integrity.

@Betsycashmoney Muting and @BrandiKruse should mute you too. Nothing shortens your reach on this platform more than that.

@JFKii @CommunityNotes - poster’s claim is easily proven false.

@rwlesq Nope. You don’t get rewarded for successfully hiding for seven years.

Your ballot is already in your hands. What you do with it in the next few days decides whether Seattle becomes the highest-taxed city in America. Initiative 645 repeals the new 9.9 percent income tax. Vote yes.

Here is what is at stake. When this tax takes effect, the combined top rate in Seattle passes 18 percent, above New York City, the highest in the country. The tax is written so the corporation pays nothing and the small business owner pays everything. Amazon is exempt. The sneaker store, the restaurant, the clinic, and the dealership are not.

Seattle's taxes have already tripled since 2013, to 2.8 billion dollars, while the schools, the homelessness system, and the police force got worse. A former governor said it plainly: we do not have an income problem, we have a spending problem. Before one more dollar is taken, this state should audit what it already collects and what it bought.

And this tax is only the beginning. Its author says in the open that he wants a broader income tax. Others want the line dropped from a million dollars to $250,000 a household. The legislature refused to lock the line where it stands.

The campaign to keep this tax has raised ten million dollars, most of it from the public employee unions. The owners and working families who will pay it were never asked. On this ballot, you are being asked.

Stand up for the small business owners who sign the leases and meet the payrolls, and for every family that pays at the register. Return your ballot this week. Vote yes on Initiative 645. Then we audit all of it.

@RepJasonCrow Even if Dems win the House and Senate - Hegseth has already been confirmed. How is Congress going to oust him?

@PamHemphill79 @BrandiKruse So obvious - sure thing, Jan.

[A Moderate in Seattle @ModerateInSEA]

@KyleKulinski Sure Jan. I’m sure it had nothing at all to do with wacko left causes.

@RepJayapal @Ilhan I thought no one was above the law? You should resign.

@thepearjoseph If you are referring to the Portland Thorns game, there was no disruption to play.

@Betsycashmoney @CommunityNotes - poster is incorrect. Most of the time the doctor knows the gender and just checks a box. At worst an inexpensive cheek swab determines gender.

Poster is clinging to misinformation attempting to sway the results of an election.

@keithellison Ummmmm ok Jan.
