A ‘No’ vote on Mukilteo EMS Levy will not impact service
Voting NO on the proposed EMS Levy will not impact Mukilteo’s excellent EMS service. With call volumes down (Sno911 Annual Report), EMS expenditures decreasing (Mukilteo Annual Budget 2024), and full EMS staffing, why would the City ask voters to approve a $1.6 million tax increase? We believe this EMS Levy proposal is disingenuous, misleading, not evidence-based, and does not consider the best interests of our residents, renters, and seniors on fixed incomes.
