Big Labor also restricts the construction on these school bonds to discriminate against non-union workers. It raises the cost of construction 13-15% as shown at http://buildmoreschools.com/. An example of this would be the recent bond at Riverside Community College District. Speaking with two of the RCCD Trustees recently, they said that they used to get between 25-30 bids for construction. With the union discriminatory deals (known as Project Labor Agreements or Community Benefit Agreements) they get only 4 or 5 bids. Do you think that increases cost?

It’s likely that the governor will end up signing the bill to be sponsored by the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors that restricts the sale of Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs). Prop 39 (passed in 2000) allows bond proceeds to be used for furniture and equipment. There is NO WAY that will be repealed anytime soon. The masses want rich property owners to help the skools.
