SPOKANE, Wash. The Spokane City Council formally gave its support to the upcoming Spokane Public Schools levy via a resolution that passed 4-3 on Monday night.
The levy is a replacement levy, so it is not a new tax. It is a tax increase compared to the property tax rates district homeowners currently pay, though SPS administrators point out it s a lower rate than what voters have historically approved.
