LAUSD Measure Q Flunks Taxpayer Protection Test.

LAUSD has placed a $7 billion Dollar bond on the ballot. I know there are a lot of bonds on the ballot, but this is the "worst" in California
Los Angeles Unified has already passed four multi-billion dollar bonds in the last ten years. FOUR! The money doesn't run out until 2012.
This bond contains billions that are not school-specific, and allows the board to spend on almost anything it wants. Lsush fund for pet projects anyone?
This is the best. According to the Daily News over the last six years, as the number of students and teachers declined, the district increased its non-teaching staff by 20%.
Less teachers, less students and more bond money. Only makes sense in LAUSD.
Allen Wilson is exactly the kind of person who would like another Bush term. I applaud the SGV...
Vote NO on Measure Q! Obama says no new taxes to the middle class which is what this measure will do. In hard economic times, voters can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars in increased property taxes for the next 44 years. LAUSD enrollment has dropped by 7% whereas administration has increased by 20%. This is a special interest bond serving a bloated bureaucracy who mismanages money. Look at the loss from their $100 million payroll fiasco.
