Don't forget Measure OBy FRANK TRANCandidate for Board Member; Westminster School District | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
Either you vote Yes or No on Measure O, Frank's personal and professional experiences will lead the District in right direction with a comprehensive plan that is conservative and accountable in spending.According to information from the Registrar of Voters -Measure O, WSD currently has three debt instruments totaling of $25 million. These loans required that WSD provides collateral in the form of district property. These loans were incurred to provide technology support, capital infrastructure, and other capital facilities projects. Now WSD is asking for another $130 million bond due to the proposed budget cuts from Sacramento. It will raise your taxes. Full Text of Measure O clearly states that "Inclusion of a project on the Bond Project List is NOT a guarantee that the project will be completed." If Measure O is not passed, it would mean the WSD in deep financial trouble. With my personal life experience, I will study carefully and have a comprehensive plan that is conservative and accountable in spending. In addition, I will not cut any funding that is for students' resources. If Measure O is passed, as a professional civil engineer, I'll make sure the Bond Project List in Measure O to be completed as allocated, not lining up into this list [click here]. I have more than 11 years of management in planning, design, bidding, and construction of capital improvements projects. If elected, I will not be the board member who just says "Yes" on staff reports' recommendations, and/or let it go for substandard construction. I pledge I shall work with you, teachers, WSD staff to make every cent of our hard-earned tax money accountable in providing the best education our children deserve. Thank you. |
