Oppose ballot initiatives 3A and 3B because it hurts our community.
In this community all sectors of government want more money.
K-12 already has a lion’s share of the state budget:
40.4% of the general fund!
This is a new world and everyone is suffering to one extent or another. Not only are our schools having to make cuts, but families, small businesses, farmers, home owners are as well. Everyone is scaling back. To propose YET ANOTHER TAX ON PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING JUST TO KEEP THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES is unfair and unjust.
What taxpayers are hearing is the voice of a teachers union official saying ‘I want MORE’ to a threadbare and weary taxpayer.
We hope that the school bureaucracy will prioritize the educational needs of students.
On this I agree ... the Jeffco school system has not been performing well with the funds it is now collecting. Send a message that we need new leadership and a new direction for public schools in Jefferson County.
