School Bonds
- Share via
Once again the Legislature failed its responsibility by adjourning without passage of a school bond measure for the November ballot (Sept. 1). With the failure of Proposition 1B on the June ballot, this means that funding of desperately needed new schools and modernization of old ones will not be available for at least two years.
Apparently a small contingent in the Assembly held school bonds hostage for a new prison bond measure. This is Draconian politics to hold the state’s schoolchildren hostage. I will remember this when I vote in November. It might behoove Gov. Pete Wilson to call a special session to readdress school bonds, as it surely will affect him.
