The state won’t help because our state leaders and legislators are too busy trying to build high speed trains no one wants, and provide a middle-class standard of living for everyone within a mile of the poverty line with our hard-earned money. Someday we hope that California voters will wise up, rise up and elect politicians who will really give power back to the people.
In the mean time, if we want decent, up-to-date schools and libraries for our community, we will have to pay for them with our own money. Consider it an investment in the future for our children, our grandchildren, and for us. Vote yes on — George Barnes, Aptos
