Maybe the Los Angeles Unified School District will fare better than its Long Beach counterpart in getting voters to agree to a parcel tax to support education. The LBUSD's parcel tax measure failed at the polls next year. LAUSD is now pursuing its own parcel tax on the June ballot. The four-year, $100 parcel tax would raise $92.5 million a year. I'm curious to see if any reader living in LA Unified boundaries has an opinion about the parcel tax. Will you vote for it?
What's your opinion of LA Unified's proposed parcel tax?
