The district is asking voters to approve a $1.08 million maintenance and operations...

The levy is a continuation of an existing levy and provides funding to every Emergency Service provider in Walla Walla County. The current levy has been in effect since 1990 and has been renewed every six years since. "We've always been supported really well. I'm hoping that will hold true this time as well," said Walla Walla County EMS...
