The City of Everett’s Proposition 1 will raise property taxes to fund programs that have been, or will be, cut due to an ever-increasing budget shortfall. The math is pretty simple: the city has been limited to 1 percent tax increases for a couple of decades since the passage of Tim Eyman’s I-747 and subsequent legislation signed by then Gov. Christine Gregoire, and inflation has been greater than 1 percent the whole time. Whether you think taxes should be raised to keep pace with inflation because you value city services such as parks and libraries, or not, is entirely up to you. However, before you cast your vote you should know that opponents of Prop. 1 are trying to manipulate you.
