ABOUT THE VOTE DECISIONS-

THE GUIDING THEME for the vote on bonds is that our economy is in poor shape right now and BOND measures are costly to the public, so it's not a good mix.

The other factor that sways the decisions is that the poor ability of government and its agencies to spend money wisely and avoid waste and corruption so that you just get little squeaks for your buck. We should hold off for that reason, too.

Most of the ideas sound good, but some also involve HUGE amounts of money that will burden people and their children for years to come and NOT worth it.

Voting down a BOND proposal does not keep it from coming up again in better times, with better language, and more controls so that the money WILL GO to WHERE they SAY it will go. Why is this? Because there's too much language is included-intentionally- that leaves loopholes and we have been deceived too often in the past to "trust" any good intentions and judgment.
