Issuing bonds is undeniably a regressive fundraising method that burdens the public and allows the financial industry to interfere in democratic processes. We wish all schools received adequate funding. However, the community has long lived under an unfair tax system that favors the wealthy and large corporations, so we support a fair and just tax system that allows the next generation, regardless of class or background, to enjoy quality public school education and public services. For now, ensuring the community has access to the resources it needs is paramount, and issuing bonds is an unavoidable choice.
