NextDoor can have trouble locating your Kingvale address in its system which uses Google and Google is not great with our streets and addresses! But click a link when signing up that says your address is not found and their support will add it and send you a link to join. 

If more Kingvalians register, maybe we can request a name update to include Kingvale!

Here is an opportunity for local voters to state their view on the availability of locally-controlled funds for wildfire prevention on Donner Summit.

How does Measure T differ from previous attempts to raise revenue to fund fire prevention? 

Measure T includes the following fiscal accountability protections:

• All money raised by Measure T would be spent locally to provide fire protection and prevention services
• No funds could be taken away by the State
• An independent citizens’ oversight committee would ensure funds are spent as promised
• An exemption from the cost of Measure T would be available for low-income residents
• Measure T automatically expires after eight years and cannot be renewed without voter approval

Let your voice be heard!
