Hope School Parcel Tax Fails
| On Tuesday Nov 4th the voters did not approve a parcel tax for the Hope School District. The tax would have cost each landowner $58 a year. Measure Q as the initiative was know had approval from 60.7 percent of the voters but failed to get the 66.7 percent required for passage. The proposition would have levied a yearly tax on each of about 5,000 parcels in the district, raising an estimated $300,000 a year to offset most of the state’s budgets cuts on Hope’s three elementary schools. |
