Statement For · Unnamed committee
statement likely AIA small local investment can make a meaningful difference for Grant County. This measure authorizes a modest 0.1% sales tax–just one penny for every $10 spent–to expand behavioral health services throughout our local communities. Available since 2005, this County-approved funding supports mental health care, substance use treatment, therapeutic courts, crisis intervention, and family services. Grant County is one of only 10 counties in Washington–and the largest–not using this local funding option. Revenue stays in Grant County, helping local agencies provide treatment and early intervention that reduces pressure on law enforcement, emergency services, and the criminal justice system while strengthening families and improving public safety. By investing locally, we can expand access to care, improve outcomes, and build a healthier, safer, and more resilient community. Vote “Yes” - for supporting practical local solutions for Grant County.
