California schools superintendent Jack O'Connell is asking voters to support local school bond measures on Tuesday's ballot.
"Historically, California voters have overwhelmingly supported local school bonds and parcel tax proposals. However, with all of the frightening news about our economy recently, I am concerned that voters in our state may be hesitant to vote for these measures," O'Connell said in a news release.
"It is now more critical than ever to support schools in our communities."
The state's budget deficit has put education funding on the chopping block and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger hints education cuts will be needed to close the gap.
How nice,the arrogant E.S. school board has already picked people to give away the 14 million dollars for who knows what to who knows who that will be "extorted" from the property owners of El Segundo AND the election hasn't even started yet.
That's like taking organs for transplants before the donor has died.
If I am the only voice against this and since it is "only" $59 per $100,000,then there should be no problem in one of these self rightous spenders of bond money to cover my portion including the money currently being extracted from my property tax statement for JUST the next few decades.
