LBUSD wants voters to approve parcel tax today

Voters in Long Beach Unified and a few other area school districts go to the polls today.

[Robert J G Jackson Sr]

LBUSD should have kept the cost of the special election. I say no to further tax increases.

[HBP]

Sorry LBUSD, 5 no votes from my family today. Learn to manage your money better. Everybody else has to.

[Truth]

I already voted NO (mail in vote). I refuse to give more money to an organization that can't prove that it will help. Students scores on standardized testing has fallen year after year after year. Why throw more money at a program that hasn't shown that it can improve.

Vote NO

[Downtown LB]

I just voted NO. I am tired of being taxed to death, now the state is taking another 10% out of my paycheck. I will vote NO to any tax increase of any kind regardless for who it's for. You cannot continue on levying a tax on an existing tax! Oh, just got my property tax statement,$300 is going to the community colleges and unified school districts. Enough is enough!

[Phil S]

The Devils Partnership between our elected officials, TALB, and the LBUSB have ONLY one thing on their agenda....UNION pay, perks, and pensions.

It is certainly a tragic time to be a American kid who wants a decent education. They aren't even a consideration in Long Beach or California.

[LBCHICA]

Vote yes! Save our Children, Schools and Teachers!

This outrageous tax proposal will primarily fall on the backs of decent hard working non smokers. VOTE NO!

[Bill]

NO

[Its your neighborhood]

If it passes then we begin an aggressive move to do all shopping outside of Long Beach. NO MORE TAXES!!!

When I was a kid and we went on vacation, we kids were given a certain amount to spend. When it was gone, it was gone, no more money for the rest of the vacation. Sorry, tax guzzlers, the vacation is over.

[bjh]

However, I would be willing to bet that there are still enough people at the polls who are naive enough to think that money will solve all of the districts problems, that it will pass. Hope I lose that bet.

Good advertising there LBUSD - I did not even know there was an election today.

You should call the election board and find out why you did not get a phamphlet.
It should have been delivered about a month ago.

[LBC Lifer]

Just got back and hour or so ago, and of course, I voted "NO". As anyone who is sensible would...

[LBCHICA]

It's not lbusd mismanaging their money, it's the f'ing governor TAKING money away from schools. VOTE YES!!!

[LB Teacher]

Think about the big picture, vote YES on Measure T! I am a teacher, a homeowner, and a long time Long Beach resident. Vote YES!

Sorry Hon. The posters on this thread aren't Stupid enough to buy your smelly load of dishonesty AGAIN. We know that the Lowenthal Legislature squandered the money which should be used to educate our children.

The question is whether we will be Stupid enough to put up with more of the same.

[Lisa]

Vote YES! Many teachers will be jobless if this measure does not pass, sadly, over less than a hundred dollars a year.

[spoiled brats]

"Dad, can I have another hundred dollars? I already spent the first hundred you gave me on cd's, fast food and dope. I know that you got lots of bucks, so just hand over some more. I'll find a way to spend all of that, too." Sound familiar?
