No. 1’s measure authorizing $598,000,000 in bonds at legal rates, levying $16
per $100,000 assessed valuation, generating $34,800,000 annually while bonds
are outstanding, be adopted, requiring local control, oversight, audits,
spending disclosure?”
Vote Required: 55%
SCORE: 2.2Comments: The score was lowered from the maximum of five because of the failure to provide information on the duration of the bonds and the estimated cost of repayment, whether there were any existing bonds in place, whether the proposed bonds were Capital Appreciation bonds or follow a regular amortization schedule, and because of extraneous verbiage designed to influence a Yes vote such as “local control”. The language regarding threats of harm to students from lead, asbestos and mold if the measure does not pass, is not substantiated and appears to be included to influence a Yes vote.
