Before you vote on Measure Q, the Solano Community College bond, think about these facts about the past, present and future.
The past:
- Solano County citizens passed a $125 million bond for the college in 2002. We already pay $19 per $100,000 assessed valuation, which has given the college approximately $10 million a year for college buildings. Everyone will continue paying for another 20 years. Measure Q will add to this debt.
- The 2002 Solano Community College Bond promised its money would bring our facilities into compliance for the handicapped, fix health and safety issues and retrofit them for earthquakes. Yet Measure Q says the same thing. Why weren’t these things fixed with the first bond measure?
