As foretold the South Pasadena Unified School District’s parcel tax passed. It was a little closer than I thought. The margin was 67.26%. It takes a 2/3rds vote to pass parcel taxes. This was the first of four tax elections in school districts in Los Angeles County. Voters seem have very few problem passing these taxes.
Local control seems to be the key for many of these communities. They feel they get their monies worth and have a say in how it is spent. How many can say that about Sacramento?
