Times: West Contra Costa will vote on $380 million bond measure to rebuild schools

The measure would include funds for “science facilities at Hercules Middle/High School” but it would not specifically address the need to rebuild Ohlone Elementary… “West Contra Costa voters will decide in June whether to award the school district another $380 million in bonds for school rebuilding and repairs. The school board this week unanimously approved moving forward with the bond measure after a community survey showed it would have voter support.“
This is unbelievable! Our local school district is about a half-billion (yes, that’s a ‘b”) dollars in debt, enough to build a palace in place of every school in the district, then after squandering that irresponsibly, want us to float them for another $380 million? I could not be more cynical or outraged about this.
