Why is Measure A aiming to raise $12 million when the budget gap is actually larger?
The district did not think it would be possible to ask voters to pay for a parcel tax that would fill the entire budget gap it is facing. Moreover, the district was aware that many voters believe that cutting costs is as important to balancing a budget as increasing revenue. The district is committed to keeping administrative costs down and will continue to streamline and restructure operations.
