Thanks for this article. Agree the information provided to voters is vague. A weblink to the specifics that the oversight committee has would be helpful. Also noteworthy is the disturbingly different completion rate data. There's the 'factbook', Mr Galatolo's figures, and Ms. Terner's figures. Maybe others as well. I wonder who has the spreadsheet that would clarify this?

The link above doesn't automatically take you to the site. If voters wish, they can go directly to Web Link

The link at the bottom of the story to the Vote No website has been fixed to make it point-and-click.

As for voters having access to what the bond oversight committee is seeing or has seen, I'm not sure where voters can go online to get information that is more specific than what is included in the ballot information pamphlet.

Another huge bond measure and little in the way of details. I just received my property tax bill. It is much more than it was last year. How much do you think seniors can pay?

Menlo Park has many elderly residents living on fixed incomes but those bond issues keep coming. Many seniors are already choosing between taxes and medicine. What are you thinking?
