Pacific Grove Unified School District Parcel Tax Argument in Favor of Measure X - Election of November 4, 2008 Our schools are our community’s most important asset and should be our number one priority. From higher achieving students, to greater safety, to improved property values, a quality education makes a difference. Pacific Grove’s schools offer an excellent, well-rounded education to our community's children: thoroughly grounded in the basics along with art, music, libraries and other exceptional programs. But today this valuable community resource is at risk. In 2003, voters approved Measure A, a parcel tax used to assist with the funding of the programs currently in place but that is due to expire. Measure X is an extension of the existing parcel tax and will not raise property taxes. Without Measure X, many of these programs will need to be reduced or eliminated. It’s no secret that our State’s budget is facing a severe fiscal crisis. Unless we look to local support, there will be dramatic budget cuts that would threaten the quality of education for the children. Measure X will help to:
By law, Measure X has taxpayer protections in place.
Measure X deserves our support. It will not only maintain the quality of our schools, but also maintain the quality of our community and improve property values – and that’s something we can all support. . Please join us and VOTE YES ON MEASURE X! Signed by : Moe Ammar, Mark Cameron, Jane Durant Jones, Richard Stillwell and Stephen Covell. |
