THE RAPE OF ARIZONAPosted: 2015-11-20 11-20-15 EAN
Before the Off Cycle Election of 2015, property tax rates increased to over 5.2599/$100 for Gilbert Public Schools (doubling in 4 years)
AND
the November election (Off Cycle, mail in only ballot, funded largely by corporations who stand to get rich off the increased cash flow alone cost the citizens nearly $300,000) gave Gilbert Public Schools another
$18.6 million in a 10% Override
AND
the November election also brought a
$98 million bond which is a third mortgage on every property in Gilbert for the next 20 years
AND
Something like
$30 million in INTEREST ALONE on the new bond debt because of the lousy interest rate
AND
all this on top of over
$100 million in debt already owed by the schools
AND
Statewide, as a result of this massive push for tax increases, property owners have been saddled with $100's of millions billions of dollars in new taxes which will be largely used to enrich education bureaucrats, politicians, government employee unions, an MOST OF ALL the crony corporations who funded this push and NOT children. Phoenix, alone alone got 10's of billions of dollars in new taxes (that's billions with a "B") this year
AND
just last night we learned that a new park will be built in Gilbert (price tag? no one seems to know yet but the architectural plans preliminary study ALONE cost
$732,000) by another Fascist corporation that got a
ONE BID / NO BID CONTRACT
(wonder who paid off who for this priviledge and how much it cost)
AND
NOW we learn the Edu-Fascist want ANOTHER OFF CYCLE ELECTION IN 6 MONTHS to get another $3.5 billion!!
($2 billion by raiding the Land Trust and the rest in another "tax the rich" scheme)
For,
wait for it,
"The Children".
If you believe THAT, i have some ocean front property in Gilbert Arizona I would like to sell you!

PHOENIX — The campaign to deliver Arizona schools an additional $3.5 billion over the next decade is now official. Proponents of Prop 123 filed registration paperwork at the Arizona Secretary of State's office Thursday afternoon. The registration follows a two-day special legislative session convened last month by Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey signed a package of bills Oct. 30 that will pump $3.5 billion into K-12 education over the next decade to settle a long-running lawsuit stemming from the state's decision to raid (EVNN: as if everyone should suffer except the edu-gangsters-and so now it is those same edu-gangsters that want to raid the Land Trust; hypocricy much?) school spending during the Great Recession. The settlement cash comes from $1.4 billion in general fund money and $2 billion from a state land trust. However the legislation requires that voters approve Prop 123 in a special election scheduled for May 17. Ducey says he'll campaign to build public support.
