Issue of Bonds
Re “Agencies Right to Sell Bonds Without Voter OK Upheld,” Aug. 7: The state Supreme Court has upheld a technique that allows local governments to “evade” the two-thirds majority vote required by the state Constitution to issue bonds for public financing.
It may be a “wonderful decision” for the tax-and-spend crowd, but in reality, it has sown the seeds of deep unrest among the oppressed. With this decision, taxpayers have absolutely no say in how much debt their cities incur. That will not stand!
Have the justices on the Supreme Court forgotten that we fought a revolution over “taxation without representation”? Have they forgotten what brought about Prop. 13?
