“So how’s the levy looking? Is it going to pass?” Do you know how many people asked me that today? Maybe 15. Maybe more. It’s so great! People want this thing passed and want to see our district moving forward.
Pretty much everybody I run into right now asks me some form of this question. And I mean everybody. Everybody from parents and teachers to grandparents and Starbucks’ employees. Old neighbors and new neighbors. Close friends and people I don’t know. If you think I’m kidding, listen to this one. Today, I had a woman at the Skyline in Oakley, a woman I didn’t know, ask me if my “For on the 4th” button was for the Mariemont levy. I said, “Yes, how did you know that?” Turns out she has family who teaches in our district. And do you know what she asked me before I left? “How’s it looking? Is it going to pass?”
And the kids…wow! They’re the best. For them, it’s so simple. You support them or you don’t. You help their schools or you don’t. Sometimes I think they get it more than the rest of us. They are fired up about it and surprisingly knowledgeable on the issue. Seriously, I can’t tell you the number of kids who’ve asked me about the levy and really understand what is going to happen for them if it passes and the losses they will experience if it doesn’t.
So, how do I answer the “how’s the levy looking” question? It’s very simple. Every vote is going to count. Every single one. So, you must vote. Period. This isn’t complicated. This is it. Vote. And when it passes on May 4th, Mariemont is going to be “looking” great!
“For” on the 4th!
