Judge gives Moscow School District six weeks to rerun supplemental levy
October 5, 2007, 3:08 pm

MOSCOW - Second District Judge John Bradbury gave the Moscow School
District six weeks to rerun a supplemental levy before he takes action
on a lawsuit brought by Moscow dentist and former school board member
Gerald Weitz.

Bradbury ruled today that the ballot measure language was inadequate for
the $1.97 million supplemental levy run by the school district in March.

In his complaint, Weitz claimed the levy was invalid because language on
the ballot did not meet the standards required by the state. He also
challenged the validity of the district's permanent levy, passed in
1992, and two other supplemental levies passed since then.

Bradbury refused to rule on those challenges, saying the statute of
limitations had run out prior to Weitz's challenge.
