Letter - Michael Baldridge

Congratulations to all the local citizens that got suckered into

voting to raise all our property taxes for Glendale Community College.

Less than two weeks later, the California Assembly approved a pair of

education bonds totaling $25 billion, of which community colleges would

receive $1.84 billion.

While these bonds still need to be voted on, I find it difficult to

believe that the board of GCC did not know about this potential source of

additional revenue. Should these state bond issues be passed, the GCC

allocation should be reduced by $98 million and that money diverted to

Glendale grade schools.
