In high-turnout general election, 12 of 14 levies pass

Yesterday’s general election featured 14 children services or related levies, with voters approving 12.

Nine counties saw renewal levies pass handily. In the five counties where new or replacement levies were on the ballot, three passed and two failed.

PCSAO appreciates voters who supported the levies in every county. The levies are necessary in large part to pay for rising placement costs for youth in foster care.
