Voter Approved? That is a Lie!

I think that it’s just wonderful that the CVUSD and HARD are upgrading the middle school facilities to the tune of 14 million dollars. However, as a senior who pays property taxes in an amount that consumes almost 5 months of my social security benefits, I am concerned. Included in my property tax bill are “Voter Approved” assessments for the school district totaling $700.00. These are assessments that seniors were told that we would not have to pay if the funding was approved for the schools. That is a lie ! Now the school district wants to do an end run by tapping the HARD budget, another “voter approved” assessment that I must also pay. When is it enough! Seniors on fixed incomes have it hard already without the increased burden for more and more.
