LAUSD Approves To More Than Double School Bond Amount to $7 Billion Under Shady Circumstances

First of all, the original amount of the bond was said to be $3.2 bliion.

Then, at the last school board meeting, they say, "Wait, move it to the next meeting (today)" -- and it magically jumps to $7 billion.

BUT DON'T WORRY, there was an oversight committee meeting (if it was held as planned) this afternoon, just hours before the $7 billion dollar vote later in the afternoon.

EXCUSE ME!!! What business or agency has ONE, brief afternoon meeting concerning $3.8 billion (the increased amount) -- and all the questions and answers are worked out for final approval a couple hours later???

Most people can't even agree on Subway or Quizno's for their office's $5.00 sandwich order.

But $3.8 billion...no problem!

AND HERE'S THE PART YOU WON'T READ ABOUT IN THE DAILY NEWS OR LA TIMES:

According to Zuma Dogg's extensive staff research with the County Tax Accessor's Office:

If this $7 billion bond passes, the amount of bonds that the LAUSD district will have outstanding will EXCEED the amount they are allowed to sell off.

It's kinda complicated to explain here, but it's like "stockpiling" bond money for the future, but they won't even be able to sell off the bonds to raise the money to use for what they are promising.

SO DON'T THINK ANY OF THIS MONEY WILL BE GOING TO ANYTHING TO RAISE THE GRADUATION RATE ANYTIME THIS GENERATION.

But here's what the money is said to be used for. (Not that it ever ends up going for what they say.)

* Smaller classrooms. In the form of breaking up bigger campuses into smaller campuses. (Which ZD supports. This is the secret to any "Charter" success. 500 size student body per school.)

* MORE MONEY SPENT ON NEW CHARTERS. (Of course. That's what ZD says all of this mayoral concern/takeover of the schools from AB 1381 to his LAUSD cluster(F) takeover that is under way.

* New energy efficient refrigerators in the cafeteria. Because top priority for LAUSD is improving the efficiency of the electric usage of the refrigerators. I KNOW, I KNOW...YOU HAVE TO SAVE MONEY AND CONSERVE ENERGY...

I ASSURE YOU IF YOU SAID TO PARENTS WE WILL RAISE THE GRADUATION RATE BY 20%, But it will cost 20% more electricity, they would say, "burn away." IF YOU ARE RAISING BOND MONEY, THAT SHIZNIT BETTER GO RIGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM GRADUATION RATE.

* NEW BUSSES: Clean, green driving machines. AND YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THEM. IT DOESN'T COME OUT OF REGULAR LAUSD OPERATING BUDGET.

GOTTA PASS A $7 Billion bond or else all the money to fix the system will be wasted by refrigerators and busses.

But hey, they were able to discuss and finalize the whole $7 billion with one oversight meeting this afternoon.

HOW DID THAT PUBLIC NOTICE OF THE MEETING AND PUBLIC COMMENT GO, MONICA, ANTONIO and ELI?
