Every school bond comes with promises that never seem to materialize. That's because the real purpose is building new schools for out-of-control growth. Keep in mind that recent reassessments raised property taxes over 25 percent, with a similar increase in school tax. But homes built today pay nothing this year as 2016 property tax isn't due until 2017. Then they only pay for the months they were occupied. Astonishingly, today's new homes don't pay a full tax bill for three years. Meanwhile, schools must be student-ready before these homes can be occupied. Get out your wallet.
Arvada's 10,000 new homes at the old Rocky Flats site are costing over $100 million for new schools. Further city and county growth means hundreds of millions of new schools. You'd have to be wearing a dunce cap to vote for 3A and B. The school board has theirs on.
