COUNTY Measure J. (almost forgot this one)
"NO" (the opinion below is borrowed from "Mayor Sam's" Blog- I adopt this opinion)

"Community College Classroom Repair, Public Safety, Nursing & Job Training -- Los Angeles Community College DistrictThe community colleges just got a huge bond measure a few years ago and has wasted a good chunk of it. However, there are a few good projects now under way. Lets give the colleges a few more years to prove they can spend wisely and if they really need more money we can talk about it."
Vote No.

THE GUIDING THEME for the vote 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 agencies to spend money wisely and avoid waste and corruption just give you little squeaks for your buck, and we should hold off for that reason, too.

Most of the ideas sound good, but some 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. Too much language is included that leaves loopholes and we have been deceived too often in the past to "trust" any good intentions and judgment.
