On the off-chance that you live in Medford,
Vote yes on prop. 6, 7, and 8 and donate to the campaign if you can. They are about raising the property tax more than 2.5% (inflation is 3.2%). Prop. 6 is funding the fire dept. HQ, which honestly I don't know much about, but 7 is about maintaining the school budget at current levels, and 8 is about vocational and arts funding.
We may actually have to move if this proposition is defeated because I can't imagine things not going downhill if schools have even less funding than they do.
