By Dr. Lisette Bauersachs Santa Monica schools parent Watergate was payback time Editor:
Whose priorities for Measure BB funds are these: $23 million for a new Edison campus and $16 million for new child development services offices at Washington West?
First, Edison is a campus that is almost 50 percent nonresidents, specifically LAUSD students. This is not an appropriate use of Santa Monica and Malibu tax money. We did not vote to spend our tax money for Los Angeles residents.
Both Malibu and Santa Monica high schools are the biggest priorities. Who set this agenda? Many parents feel as I do, fix our high schools and stop the bleed out to private schools.
It is time to make sure our taxpayer money is spent on us — the taxpayers!!
