in School and Community College Bonds
There are over $6 BILLION (that's billion with a B) local, big bad California school bond measures on the June 2016 ballot around the state. A total of 45 districts have fallen victim to the greed of the school bonds cartel. (All of these measures were instigated by the sales teams of two or three firms that make huge profits from the taxpayers in these districts.) The school bonds cartel is giving you just a taste of the assault on your homes that it will mount in November. Many of the measures were sneaked in just days before the filing deadline. That makes it almost impossible for you to have chance to have a meaningful say.
