Hey gang, let's put a bond measurer on the ballot....

With seemingly about as much thought as one of those old movies where kids came together to put on a show, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, School Board President Monica Garcia and a bunch of other folks came out Friday for a new multi-billion dollar bond issued to go on the November ballot.
The announcement came at a hastily called news conference -- less than an hour's notice was given -- and on a Friday afternoon, a move seen as guaranteeing little news coverage.
The purpose of the measure is to help create small charter schools as part of the new initiative at th Los Angeles Unified School District _ a program yet to be put into practice to even see if it works.
The bond measure is for an undetermined amount. The cost to taxpayers is not known. The language of the measure and what it would actually do is not available.
Local officials are fond of saying the devil is in the details. It would be nice to see them.
