WCCUSD Parcel Tax

"West County district parcel tax could pass, study shows" by Kimberly S. Wetzel, 04/17/08 West County Times

The good news: According to polling research, the West Contra Costa school district could get enough voter support on a parcel tax measure in November.

The bad news: The research shows that voters probably would not be willing to pay more than they already do to help the district stay afloat financially.

Is the "bad news" really a suprise to people? The last push for an 11 cents/sq. ft. tax failed and the current (but due to expire) tax of 7.2 cents/sq. ft. is already questioned by many. Despite how the tax is pitched there's really no effective limitation on what the money is used for.
