Yes on Measure G

Measure G is an important topic for all the schools in the Fremont High School Union District. The plan is to keep the same parcel tax, which is $98, to help pay to keep teachers in schools and to avoid increased class sizes. By voting Yes, there's no tax increase because the residents of Cupertino, except senior citizen, have been paying this tax until now.

There's one problem that the voters need to be aware of is the fact that with this new measure, there's no expiration date for the tax. So this means that the tax can go on forever as long as the District continues to justify its use. I'm sure the board is not going to repeal it once the funding improves. The other recourse is for the voters to put a ballot measure to do so and it costs money.

Vote Yes with but, we must keep an eye on the spending and budget. When the tax is not needed, it should be repealed.
