This week’s Q-Line question was: “Do you plan to vote for Measure S? Why or why not? If not, what else could the district do to generate the much-needed money?”
Here are your responses: ■ “I do not believe the schools need more money. It’s like giving drugs to a drug addict. They are so wasteful. I know people who work for the district. It is a very, very wasteful bureaucracy. Giving them more money will not fix the problem. They will just want more. Measure S is also very undemocratic.” ■ “I will vote no. For years I have voted yes and supported the schools. They need to work with the money that they have. They need to clean the schools. What I mean by this is parents have complained about students coming from outside the district. Until then there will never be enough money.”
