State Bond Propositions Need to be Rejected by Voters
State Bond Propositions Need to be Rejected by Voters
Editor,
Your list of bond propositions in your issue of Sept. 26 astounded me. Propositions 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E and 84 amount to a total of $42.7 billion of new bonds. Can you imagine the new revenue (taxes) required to pay off these bonds? I can’t wait for the voter booklets to see what the state analyst estimates the new taxes to pay for these bonds.
Add to that, Propositions 86, 87 and 88, which propose new taxes on tobacco, energy, as well as for education. And local citizens complain about an increase in sewer rates. Some of the bond issues very well might be needed, however, there is no way the state taxpayers can afford these bond projects. The state legislature must do their job and we taxpayers must reject these irresponsible bond measures.

Not Everyone Thinks
the Way You do, Peter
Editor,
Dear Peter Frusetta:
Not all Americans are Christian, and have several different beliefs. But I am pretty sure that they love their children and grandchildren the same as you do.
And may I add, “Times have changed since you attended high school.” (And by the way, when was that?) I believe in the freedom of choice, and you must not judge a book or in this case a person by the way he or she dresses. And can you elaborate on the “smut from southern California?”
I hope I have shed some light on your conservative views.
Thank you for your time,
Lisa Vallejo
