Am I better than you? Morally and civically superior? Chances are, I am, considering that I've mailed in my school levy ballot, and judging by the latest ballot return statistics, you probably haven't. As of last count only 87,330 of Seattle's 414,863 registered voters have returned their ballots—that's a pathetic turnout of only 21 percent! And tomorrow is the deadline!

So don't give me the satisfaction of feeling superior to you! If you are registered to vote, fill out your ballot and mail it in now, so that you beat Tuesday's 8 pm postmark deadline. And of course, vote YES on both levies.
