Placer GOP Chairman Tom Hudson - No on G
Posted by: Aaron Park | 01/09/2008 9:00 PM
Tom Hudson wrote an eloquent response to Loomis School Board Member Jack Day regarding Day criticizing the Placer GOP for opposing Measure "G" the Loomis School Bond.
This bond is one of those 55% things from Prop 34.
Many of you know that Tom is eloquent and very wordy in his emails from time to time.
I decided to post an excerpt and link to his letter, but it is a phenomenal thesis for opposing school bonds in general.

Dear Jack:
If you honestly believe that taxes are too low and taxpayers bear the blame for the conditions in our schools, then we should politely agree to disagree. I am sure that we can still work together on the areas where we agree. Every disagreement should not be considered an insult to someone's integrity. Rather than raising taxes again and again and again, the Republican volunteers I work with would prefer educational reforms that would reduce the costs of running our local schools. I hope you will let us know if there is an opportunity to work together toward something like that. I can certainly understand your frustration after so many years of fighting to improve the schools. If tax increases are always the first resort, I don't believe that we will ever be able to get the educational establishment to focus on the real problems facing our schools.

It is Prop 39, not Prop 34. Prop 34 has to do with campaign funding.
