As I look at who are endorsing Measure P and their contributors, I am more convinced than ever to question the legitimacy of this new bond (property tax). What’s in it for them? Probably the most benefit financially are the architects and contractors. But what bothers me more will be the subtle hidden benefit this new tax proposal provides excusing the misallocation of the previous bond (still owed) repairs by the Administration and Trustees. The least benefit ironically are the students. The mission of the college has been downgraded to one of political power. Are sports keeping the college alive? How many local players? Is the college serving the community? Probably a better bond would have been to develop on-campus housing utilizing the unused classrooms freeing up local housing demands. The exorbitant campaign money spent on Measure P would be better spent on repairs. There is a built-in budget for maintenance, where did that money go? Please peel back the blinding layers of celebrity support and the contributor’s intentions to understand what is really going on with our once beautiful school on the hill. The “no tax” ad is untrue, what else is untrue with measure P bond? Stop, let’s review this “over-amped” bond measure more carefully. Vote NO on Measure P.
