Opposed the school district's operating levy referendum, arguing it would grow into a decades-long, inflation-indexed tax and criticizing the board's non-voter taxing authority.

Analyzed the November 3 school referendum's tax levies, arguing the district's '$1 per month' framing is misleading and the combined levy would reach $11.7 million annually by year two.
