Opinion
I am supporting Bernie Sanders for president because I believe him when he says he will work to achieve economic, racial, social and environmental justice. I believe him because he has been a consistent champion for the people for 40 years.
He will do this by expanding Medicare to include all Americans, and by negotiating drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry.
Bernie will put a moratorium on the inhumane practices at the border, from day one of his presidency. He vows to reunite all the children with their families, and I believe him.
Bernie also has detailed plans to repair and rebuild the Veterans Administration infrastructure, and to expand Social Security and Medicaid. You can learn how these plans will be paid for by visiting Bernie’s website.
Bernie is committed to reducing carbon emissions throughout the world through his Green Climate Fund, and by rejoining the Paris Agreement, thereby reasserting our country’s participation in the global climate change discussion.
Bernie Sanders has worked his way up from very successful mayor of Burlington, Vermont in the 1980s, to Vermont’s member of Congress, to now serving his third term in the US Senate.
Bernie appeals to people across the political spectrum. Sixty-seven percent of Vermont’s voters from all parties voted for Bernie Sanders in 2018. He is the No. 1 choice for the next generation.
I write this letter to support those of us that believe in government of the people, by the people and for the people.

In response to the recent aggressive U.S. airstrike that killed Iranian general Soleimani, the only presidential candidate who has taken concrete action to prevent war with Iran is Sen. Bernie Sanders.
He has also consistently voted against war in the Middle East, starting in 1991 with the Gulf War.
As a Jewish-American whose family fled the Holocaust, and whose candidacy has been endorsed by both Jewish and Muslim-Americans across America, Sanders is uniquely qualified to bring lasting peace to the Middle East.
Ending our wars will free up funding for social programs, such as Medicare For All, that will improve the lives of all Americans.
Your vote for Bernie Sanders in the California primary election on March 3 is a vote for peace and prosperity for America!

A $228 million Yuba College school bond will be on the March 2020 ballot! We are already paying on four Yuba College bonds.
Fifteen thousand Lake County voters will see this on their March ballots.
A bond is a tax! A portion of Yolo, Placer, Lake, Glenn and Butte counties will vote and will be taxed on the Yuba College school bond. All of Colusa, Yuba and Sutter counties will vote and be taxed on it!
Many of the projects listed on this bond are mirror images that were listed on previous Yuba College bonds. Why weren't the projects completed with the previous bonds?
The Yuba College administration is leasing a building at 425 Plumas St. in Yuba City at a whopping $310,000 per year. Why? Why are their offices not located on the campus?
We are already paying on four Yuba College bonds! We will be paying on those bonds for many, many years to come. This will impact your property taxes. If you rent, the increased property tax will likely be passed on to you.
How much longer will we be paying on these school bonds?
Our children and grandchildren will inherit these bonds:
– Yuba College Bond A: Ends Aug. 1, 2031; 11 years remaining.
– Yuba College Bond B: Ends Aug. 1, 2046, 26 years remaining.
– Yuba College Bond C: Ends Aug. 1, 2050, 30 years remaining.
– Yuba College Bond D: Ends Aug. 1, 2039, 19 years remaining.
Astounding! Taxes on four Yuba College bonds is enough!

Please share this information! It is important that voters and taxpayers see this!

The Governing Board of the Yuba Community College District on Oct. 10, 2019, voted to place a whopping $228.4 million bond measure on the March 3 ballot.
A bond measure seeks the permission of voters to borrow money by selling bonds (debt) that must be repaid, with interest (up to 12%), over decades from higher property taxes. At current (low) interest, the total repayment amount would be about double the $228.4 million.
The total repayment depends upon the interest rate at the time bonds are sold. In this instance, the measure contemplates the sale of millions of dollars in bonds each year. Interest rates may increase greatly and would be paid back for 30 years or more.
This is the third bond measure from this district in the last 14 years. The first was $190 million in 2006 from Measure J. The second was $33.6 million in 2016 from Measure Q. The $33.6 bond was just sold in Oct 2019 and will show up on your 2020 tax bill.
Measure C now proposes to authorize use of the next borrowed money on projects that were supposed to be accomplished under the 2006 and 2016 bond measures.
Instead of identifying just what projects would be funded, this bond measure only pledges to use the money raised for any of a broad range of purposes – guaranteeing virtually nothing. It would give the college district administrators and their board members vast discretion in spending or squandering the money.
The Yuba College District already has a $48 million pension debt and an aggregate debt service of $369 million since Nov 2000 Enactment of Prop 39. Adding more debt on top of the debt they already have is not fiscally sound management of the money we have already given them.
If this passes, your grandchildren will still be paying for the debt incurred today. Our children are already burdened with too much debt, let’s not add to it or to our grandchildren as yet unborn!
Tell the district to be fiscally responsible by voting no on Measure C.
