MATT DRISCOLL: FUNDING TACOMA SCHOOLS IS VITAL>>>

This just in from Marty Campbell, who's leading the charge to pass the Tacoma School Bond Measure on March 10.

TACOMA, WA, FEBRUARY 23, 2009: Today the Tacoma-Pierce County Association of Realtors have endorsed the Tacoma School Bond Measure on the upcoming March 10th ballot.

Cheryl O'Brien, 2009 President of TPCAR said "We realize that Schools are an important part of our community and we are proud to be supporting this bond measure."

In addition to their endorsement, they sent a $1000 check to fully show support for Tacoma Schools and the Tacoma Community.

They believe, as do many other groups and organizations, that this measure will provide much needed renovations and upgrades to schools in the Tacoma School District that are rapidly deteriorating.
