Rob Pappalardo on CUSD Bond Measure S
Rob Pappalardo, member of the Cabrillo Unified School District board and Measure S co-chair, spoke on the Coastsider Podcast about the bond measure on Tuesday’s ballot.
In our conversation, Rob discusses the school board’s process in putting together the bond, the cost to the public, and addresses some of the criticisms of the bond measure that have been raised by the public.
Coastsiders have come out strongly both in favor of the measure and against it. Others are confused about claims that are coming from the two sides. We hope that this interview will clarify the issue for those who are still on the fence.

Well, it is so interesting that the Measure S Co-Chair has obviously not read the full text of the measure.
In this “podcast” he mentions that the bond term is for 25 to 30 years.

THE MEASURE S BOND MEASURE ACTUALLY STATES:
ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
No Administrator Salaries. Proceeds from the sale of Bonds authorized by this proposition shall be used only for the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or replacement of school facilities on the Bond Project List, including the furnishing and equipping of said school facilities, or the acquisition or lease of real property for said school facilities, and not for any other purpose, including teacher and administrator salaries and other school operating expenses.
Single Purpose. All of the purposes enumerated in this proposition shall be united and voted upon as one single proposition, pursuant to section 15100 of the California Education Code, and all the enumerated purposes shall constitute the specific single purpose of the bonds and proceeds of the bonds shall be spent only for such purpose.
Other Terms of the Bonds. When sold, the bonds shall bear interest at an annual rate not exceeding the statutory maximum, and that interest will be made payable at the time or times permitted by law.
The bonds may be issued and sold in several series, and no bond shall be made to mature more than 25 years (if issued pursuant to the provisions of the California Education Code) or 40 years (if issued pursuant to the provisions of the California Government Code) from the date borne by that bond.
Exhibit B-5

Where do they come up with people who will lie to get this passed, or who are so un-knowledgeable as to not be aware of the basic features as stated in the wording of the Official Measure?
Property Owners are struggling and we can’t let these folks continue to take more money when they can’t manage the money they have already extracted from Property Owners.
I’m voting NO!!!
