What it costs you

We cannot calculate what this measure costs a household. That figure needs the levy rate per thousand dollars of assessed value, and the result export does not carry it — it records how people voted, not what they were voting on. We will not estimate it: a wrong number on a household tax bill is worse than no number. The rate is published in the county assessor’s levy certification and in the voters’ pamphlet for the election.

The case for and against

Printed in the county voters’ pamphlet and mailed to every voter in the jurisdiction. Written by committees the jurisdiction appointed, and reproduced here exactly as they wrote them.

The pamphlet for this measure has not been loaded. Pro and con statements are published by the county that ran the election, in a pamphlet PDF. We have loaded Grays Harbor County so far, and only for the elections whose pamphlets are still retrievable — counties remove them when the next election is published. This measure’s statements exist; we do not hold them.

Who is funding each side

Political committees registered with the Public Disclosure Commission that named this proposition number when they formed.

This measure has no proposition number on file. Committee records are matched to measures by the proposition number the committee registers against. Without one we have no documented way to link spending to this measure, and we will not guess from the committee’s name.

What this county has asked before

Other levy lid lift measures put to Grays Harbor County voters. Matched on county and measure kind — the results export carries no jurisdiction key, so these are comparable measures rather than provably the same body asking again.

No comparable earlier measure on file. This is the only levy lid lift measure we hold for Grays Harbor County. Our results coverage does not reach every year, so an earlier one may exist that we have not loaded.

What this page will not compute

Each of these is a number a reader might reasonably expect. None of them follow from the records we hold, so we do not publish them.

What it costs a household: Requires the levy rate per thousand of assessed value, which the results export does not carry. Stated above rather than estimated.
Whether the money decided it: We can show what each side raised and what the vote was. Connecting the two would be an inference about cause from two numbers, and campaign spending is not the only thing that moves a local levy.
Whether this is the same body asking again: Earlier measures are matched on county and kind, not on jurisdiction — the export has no jurisdiction key. A school district and its neighbour both appear as school measures in the same county.
What the measure would have done: The ballot title and the full text are not loaded. We hold the result, not the proposal.
