Three cheers for Issy Council

It is very satisfying to see the Issaquah City Council stand up to our “tax and spend” bureaucrats. The 2009 property tax will not be increased by the usual 1 percent limit. Deputy finance director Trisha Draycott gave her pitch for the increase, but wiser heads on the council prevailed and unanimously rejected the requested increase. We are fortunate for our council’s action, since some surrounding communities have no such options due to their spending habits. Thank you, Issaquah council.
