Nursing student I would because the money would directly benefit our children. I am not a fan of more taxes, but in this time of crisis we need to make sure our children are taken care of while we sort out this mess. We moved to Pleasanton for the family-friendly environment and all the resources the schools provided. We have been very pleased so far.
Judy Malmrose Stay-at-home mom I’m not going to say yes or no, but my problem with the parcel tax is that there was a proposition on the ballot to develop land that would’ve given the schools a lot of money. It was voted down, but now many of the people who voted against it are in favor of a parcel tax. I wish that voters had recognized the opportunity we had during the last election.

Harry Sheppard Retired Superior Court judge Yes. Education is number one, and it increases property values. I don’t have young children, but my property value will go up, so I do have a direct interest. I went to a lot of schools — general education, college and law school — and every one of them helped me. It’s a benefit to not only the individual receiving a good education, but to the entire community.

Marcia Powers Long-distance hiker I would absolutely support a parcel tax again. When I was in sixth grade, my teacher told me that education is the future of America and that we must always support our schools with dollars. I was indoctrinated at an early age. My sons went through Pleasanton schools, and I think it’s time to pay it back.
Jerry Brewer Engineer My wife and I recently bought our first house, and we chose Pleasanton specifically for the wonderful schools. I will support a parcel tax because I want our future children to have a great education.
