Medina voters may consider leaving costly library system

Interesting Story out of Seattle. Henry Paulman was sick of it. The retired Boeing salesman isn’t anti-library, per se, but he didn’t appreciate the $930 tax bill paid by the owner of an average-priced home in Medina each year to remain a member of the King County Library System.

So last spring he fired off an e-mail to the Medina City Council, and some council members agreed the tax bill might be too high. The council is expected to decide Monday night whether to put a measure on the November ballot that would let the city’s residents vote to stay in the library system or not.
