More on three of the Local Ballot Measures

Measure "E" the Dry Creek School Bond - I replied to someone who posted a comment criticizing us for opposing their bond.
I asked the obvious question about an audit of the district to see what they did with their money... On New Year's Eve, I was at a get together with someone who is a substitute teacher in the district who told me...
That the Bond is being floated to complete a middle school campus that the district ran out of money to complete. The issues at hand were cost overruns and money that was spent on items other than the school.
The administrators attempted to compel this person and others to campaign on behalf of this bond. This acquaintance refused to do so and characterized the sentiments of others as being the same.
Like Western Placer Unified - some heads need to roll in the Dry Creek District, starting with the Teacher's Union who hand-picked their board.
Measure J - the Rocklin Park Tax.
The measure was not put on the ballot by the Rocklin City Council. This measure was put back on the ballot by the same citizens board that got the original tax passed in the first place.
The issue that burnt me out on this tax was not only do the proponents want to increase it 50% per parcel - they want to index the tax up every subsequent year for the CPI!
Measure H - the Environmentalist groups referendum against development. Vote yes and support the Rocklin City Council, vote no and support the Sierra Club and people who like small clogged freeways and cities with nowhere for people to live.
