Ka soo horjeeda aasaasidda Degmada Jardiinka iyo Madadaalada ee Covington..
Haddii la ansixiyo, soo jeedintani waxay abuuri doontaa Degmada Jardiinka iyo Madadaalada ee Covington, degmo jardiin oo magaalo weynta ah oo leh xuduuddo la mid ah kuwa Magaalada Covington. Degmada waxay ahaan doontaa hey’ad dowladeed oo gooni ah oo leh dhammaan awoodaha uu sharciga gobolka siiyay, oo ay ku jiraan kuwa ku xusan 35.61 RCW. Xubnaha Golaha Magaalada ee Magaalada Covington ayaa xilkooda darteed u fariisan doona sidii guddiga guddoomiyeyaasha jardiinka ee Degmada. Degmada waxaa loo oggolaan doonaa inay soo rogto canshuurta hantida ee joogtada ah oo aan ka badnaan doonin $0.75/$1,000 ee qiimaha la qiimeeyay, iyadoo canshuurta hantida ee joogtada ah ee bilowga ahi noqon doonto $0.37/$1,000 ee qiimaha la qiimeeyay, si loo helo maalgelin joogto ah oo lagu dayactiro, lagu hawlgeliyo, laguna horumariyo jardiinooyinka, xarumaha bulshada, barkadaha dabaasha, iyo xarumaha iyo barnaamijyada kale ee madadaalada. Lacagaha Degmada waa in loo hibeeyaa ujeeddooyinka jardiinka iyo madadaalada oo looma isticmaali karo si loo bixiyo mashaariicda kale ama hawlgallada kale ee Magaalada.
Haddii la ansixiyo, lacagaha Degmada waxaa markii hore loo isticmaali doonaa horumarinta dayactirka jardiinka; horumaro cusub oo lagu sameynayo Jardiinka Bulshada ee Covington Community, Jardiinka Founders, Jardiinka Jenkins Creek, iyo Barta Socodka ee Jenkins Creek; iyo qorsheynta Xarunta Bulshada Caafimaadka oo Dhan oo cusub (oo ay ku jirto xarun cusub oo barnaamijyada dabaasha ah). Muddo-dheer ahaan, Degmada waxay bixin doontaa maalgelin go’an, la isku halayn karo, oo waarta oo loogu talagalay jardiinooyinka iyo madadaalada ee Covington, oo ay ku jiraan maalgelin curaar oo suurtagal ah oo laga bixin karo lacagaha Degmada si loogu maalgeliyo mashaariic waaweyn sida Xarun Bulsho oo cusub.
Haddii aan la ansixin, ma jiro ilo la aqoonsaday oo bixiya maalgelin go’an oo waarta oo muddada-dheer ah oo loogu talagalay horumarinta dayactirka jardiinka, horumarinta jardiinooyinka cusub, sii wadista qorsheynta Xarunta Bulshada Caafimaadka oo Dhan oo cusub, ama maalgelinta la isku halayn karo oo waarta ee jardiinooyinka iyo madadaalada.
Waxaan Jeclahay Jardiinooyinkeena—Ku Codee Haa. Nidaamka jardiinooyinka Covington wuxuu udub‑dhexaad u yahay tayada nolosheena, isagoo siinaya helitaan bilaash ah oo lagu tago goobaha carruurtu ku ciyaarto, dariiqyada socodka, meelaha cagaaran, iyo dhacdooyinka. Laakiin jardiinooyinku waxay la tartamaan maalgelinta booliiska, waddooyinka, iyo adeegyada kale ee lagama maarmaanka ah. Marka kharashaadka sii kordhaan, maalgelinta jardiinooyinku dib ayay u dhacaysaa—waana sii socon doontaa haddii aan la helin xal gaar ah oo u heellan.
Maalgelin Waarta‑Mustaqbalka oo loogu talagalay Jardiinooyinkeena Deegaanka. Degmada Jardiinka iyo Madadaalada ee Covington (CPRD) waxay bixisaa maalgelin xasilloon oo la ilaaliyo. Sharcigu wuxuu farayaa in 100% dakhliga CPRD uu taageero jardiinooyinka iyo madadaalada Covington—waxba lagama leexin karo degmada ama gobolka. CPRD waxay horumarin doontaa dayactirka jardiinooyinka, waxay ballaarin doontaa jardiinooyinka/dariiqyada, waxayna lagama maarmaan u tahay in lagu beddelo xarunta dabaasha ee gaboobay oo lagu dhiso xarun buuxisa baahiyaha maanta, oo ay ku jiraan meel dabaal oo ballaaran iyo goobaha jimicsiga gudaha, waayeelka, dhallinyarada, iyo bulshada.
Maalgelin Caqli‑leh, Faa’iido Wadaag ah. CPRD waxaa loo qaabeeyay si ay u bixiso faa’iidada ugu badan iyadoo kharashku yahay kan ugu yar. Mulkiileyaasha leh guryaha qiimahoodu dhex dhexaadka yahay waxay bixin doonaan qiyaastii $21/bishii iyadoo mulkiileyaal badan ay bixin doonaan wax ka yar. Maalgelinta CPRD sidoo kale waxay furaysaa lacagaha is‑barbar dhigga ah ee deeqaha, si loo keeno doolar dheeraad ah oo bulshadeenna soo gala—koror qiime.
Ku Codee Haa. Ilaali oo xooji nidaamka jardiinooyinka ee bulshadeennu ku tiirsan tahay. Waxaan qiimeynaa jardiinooyinkeena waana inaan maalgelino. Ku codee haa.

Lacagtee bay tahay?
Dhowr sanno ka hor, Magaalada Covington waxay noo timid iyagoo leh, “Waa inaan dhisnaa isgoysyada wareegga ah ee taraafikada sidaas darteed waa inaan abuurnaa canshuur adeegyada tamarta haddii kale waa inaan xirnaa jardiinooyinka.” Waxay abuureen canshuurtii. Hadda waxay rabaan inay abuuraan Degmada Jardiinka iyo Madadaalada oo ay nagu soo rogaan canshuurta hantida oo ah 37¢ halkii $1,000 ee qiimeynta ah si loo maalgeliyo. Taasi waa $148 sannadkii guri qiimihiisu yahay $400,000. $277 guri qiimihiisu yahay $750,000. Hore ayaan u abuurnay canshuur lagu maalgeliyo jardiinooyinka. Iyadoo canshuuraha shidaalka ay cirka isku shareereen, canshuuraha hantiduna ay sare yihiin, iyo hadda hanjabaadda canshuur dakhliga ah, ma aha wakhti wanaagsan oo la abuurro canshuur kale oo cusub. Waxay la mid tahay in Magaalada Covington ay jeceshahay inay lacag kharash gareyso oo waxay illowday yaa leh lacagta. Webseedkooda wuxuu leeyahay inay awoodi karaan inay soo rogaan 75¢ halkii kun oo eeg sida ay u wanaagsan yihiin sababtoo ah waxay codsanayaan oo keliya 37¢. Ka waran haddii ay tahay midna? Ugu yaraan hadda ma aha. Lacag ma jirto. Ceelku wuu qalalan yahay hadda. Ma aha wakhtigii saxda ahaa ee nalaga codsan lahaa kuwo dheeraad ah.

Qoraalka mucaaradku wuxuu ku salaysan yahay cabsi abuur iyo marin‑habaabin, iyagoo si khaldan u adeegsanaya siyaasad hal‑mar ahayd 2011 oo la xiriirtay canshuurta adeegyada tamarta oo loo adeegsaday dhisitaanka Jardiinka Bulshada ee Covington. Covington ma laha canshuur jardiinooyin; sheegashada wixii aan taas ahayn waa been. Taasi waa sababta aan ugu baahanahay CPRD. Canshuuraha shidaalka iyo canshuuraha dakhliga waxaa maamula Gobolka Washington: Covington waxba kama hesho. Jardiinooyinku waxay lama huraan u tahay tayada nolosha; su’aashu ma aha inaan awoodno inaan maalgelino jardiinooyinka — ee waa inaynu awoodno inaanan la maalgelin. Ku codee haa.

Just $21/month, but that’s on top of the, “just a few bucks more a month,” utility taxes we’re already paying to support parks. Now is a time to live within our means, not create a new tax. Once a tax is created, there it is. It will only go up. In most cases, taxes never go down. Where does the money come from? Your pocket. It’s not a good time for this. Please vote no.
