"It feels a little like a bait and switch. This all started with five schools in danger of collapsing in an earthquake. They probably could have gotten support for that. But while we had our wallets open, they asked for another few hundred million.
"Bundling critical needs with the district's regularly scheduled building plan, in this climate, is lunacy.

"Penny tax" sounds so innocent and nostalgic -like penny candy.
