Seven local questions: 2 new tax or fee, 2 property tax increase, 2 school tax increase, 1 keeping extra revenue.

Dollar figures are on each question's row and page and are not added here: they are stated for different years and different districts, and two of the questions state no dollar amount.

I recommend a no vote on all seven.
