must fail
With sky-high gas prices, a swelling national debt and a state that’s still deeply in debt, how can anyone in their right mind call Prop BB, the school bond, fiscally responsible? Didn’t we already pass a bond in 1998 for building repair and maintenance? Just how deeply in debt does the school district want to plummet us? Even worse, they admit that this bond is only half the amount they intent to seek. They’ll go after the other half the next time around, for a whopping total of a half billion dollars in debt which, with interest added over 25 years, will swell to a billion dollars in debt!
And who will pay for this debt? Homeowners on a fixed income who can ill afford any increase in their property taxes and renters, particularly the elderly, whose rents will go up as their landlords scoff at taking the hit themselves. Send the irresponsible spend-mongers in the school district a message. Vote “no” on BB and strike a blow for fiscal responsibility.
