Three reasons for voting no
I have carefully read about this Measure C apparently seeking to save our schools, not just to support them, judging from the long list of critical programs to be funded. For most readers, it is difficult to assess the need beyond sloganeering.
I am voting no for at least three reasons: additional charges on our tax bills have piled up to become a sizable burden; property owners are squeezed also by the bad economy and escalating college costs borne by most tenants; and election tactics used here do appear cagey.
As suggested by your readers, it’s quite fair to have parents provide additional funds, and then alone we would see school officials coming up with realistic spending plans. One irksome note: I do not need political advice from Helen Thomson, PTA presidents, and the like.
