If new schools were really needed, the people would demand it.
Instead, school bonds are funded by the constructions companies that believe they will get the contracts to build the schools. Maybe if government enforced our immigration laws we would not have a need for new brick and mortar buildings? Maybe if the so-called professional educators used the Internet more, the cost of education would be less--and needed improvements could be paid out of current funds.
Proof this is NOT a groundswell of support for new debt, but an onslaught of special interest money:
"The biggest donation was a $49,000 contribution Oct. 1 by Lusardi Construction, which most recently was hired by the school district to rebuild San Marcos Elementary School.
In other large donations in October, the contractor Edge Development Inc. of Temecula gave the campaign $25,000, Brian Cox Mechanical Inc. of Poway gave $10,000, IBI Group of San Diego gave $6,000, Advance Plumbing Company of El Cajon gave $5,000, GSSI Engineers Inc. of San Diego gave $2,000, Lord Architecture Inc. of San Diego gave $1,000, Johnson Consulting Engineering Inc. of Poway gave $1,000, Snipes-Dye Associates of La Mesa gave $1,000, and BSE Engineering Inc. of San Diego gave $1,000.
In earlier donations, Architects HMC Group Inc. of San Diego gave $25,000, LPA Architects of Irvine gave $25,000, Design Acquisition Group of San Jose gave $12,500, Eric Hall & Associates of Carlsbad gave $1,500 and the Dolinka Group of Irvine, a financial and facilities consultant for school districts, gave $15,000.
Neal Electric Corp. of Poway gave $10,000, Alliance Engineering of Encinitas gave $5,000, Sprotte & Watson Architecture and Planning Inc. of Vista gave $5,000, NAC Architecture of Spokane gave $5,000, Building Solutions Group Inc. of Alhambra gave $750, and SWS Engineering Inc. of San Marcos gave $500."
