Chamber endorses Measure C
The Davis Chamber of Commerce board of directors has endorsed Measure C, the school parcel tax being decided in a mail-only election that ends March 6.
“The Chamber is a membership organization whose mission is to promote, support and advocate the general economic vitality of its membership and the quality of life for the community,” interim executive director Kemble Pope said in a news release.
“An economically competitive community needs a strong public school system to educate and develop the skills of its future workforce and leadership,” Pope continued.
“The Chamber strives to support and improve the quality of K-12 public education, community colleges and UC Davis by strengthening the communications between local schools, UC Davis, other higher education institutions and the local business community.”

Measure C is not going to make our schools stronger. It’s not going to make our community economically competitive. Most definitely, the money is not going to be spent on our children. The money will be used to perpetrate a failing union model that pays exorbitant unearned pensions for union members, many of which don’t teach.
