Vote 'no' on Prop O - facts about your tax

There are only 1,078 registered voters in the Vallecitos School District. Given voter apathy, we will be lucky if 30 to 40 percent vote. Assume two voters per property, then there are 500 properties in the district that could be affected by the new tax.

For the measure to pass, Prop O would need 55 percent in favor. Assume 300 vote on the measure, then only 165 voters could decide in favor of the tax that will affect 500 properties (1,000 people). Don’t let this happen Vote ‘no’ now!

District list of uses for Prop O money:

• Solar panel system for $900k?

• Build a multi-purpose building for $900k? For 225 students?

• New HVAC at $365k?

• *New roofing at $240k?

• Replace windows at $500 apiece?

• Remodel the admin building for $259k?

Why wasn’t some of our tax money reserved over time used to make needed improvements in the physical facilities? And now we are expected to pay for this oversight.

Prop O is a great example of a giant government “pork barrel” with poor planning and management at the core.

Don’t let this happen, vote ‘no’ now!
