Parcel Tax - Community Colleges

From today's San Mateo Daily Journal comes word of a new parcel tax for the 220,000 parcels in the County:

Residents countywide will be asked to consider a $34 annual parcel tax to support three community colleges in June after the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees voted unanimously last night to seek the measure.

On Wednesday, the San Mateo County Community College Board of Trustees unanimously supported placing a four-year, $34 annual parcel tax on a special June 8 ballot. Such a measure could generate about $6 million annually for the district, said District CFO Kathy Blackwood. It requires two-thirds approval to pass.

I will vote for the parcel tax if the county renegotiates all their salaries and pension obligations that got them to this point. I think that's rather fair.
