Do not be Misled – Vote No on Measure BB

I previously wrote a letter (published 10/25/18) regarding Measure BB. I continue to believe that a NO vote is the correct way to go due to a documented history of fund misuse and poor oversight, but I have a correction. My original letter mentioned that per the Silicon Valley Voice of 7/4/18, SCUSD was still in deficit spending mode. That was true as of the 6/28/18 budget. But, on 9/13/18, SCUSD balanced its budget. This was mainly done by taking $23 Million out of the Books & Supplies budget. The 6/28/18 budget for Books and Supplies was $34,848,033.34. The Books and Supplies budget was amended on 9/13/18 and is now $11,754,114. I’m concerned that once again, money is not going towards the ultimate goal: a superior education for the children of the Santa Clara Unified School District. Again, please vote NO on Measure BB

The current Chief of Police, Pat Nikolai, ran unopposed in his last two elections March 2020 and November 2020. Mike
