In plain language
Measure H is a bond measure for Los Rios Community College District. It would pay for affordable college and job-training facilities. These would serve students, workers, and veterans. It would provide safe drinking water and repair leaky roofs. A YES vote lets the district borrow $1.1 billion by selling bonds, without raising current tax rates. It would be paid back through a tax averaging below $17 per $100,000 of assessed value. That raises about $74,500,000 a year while the bonds are unpaid. The measure requires independent audits and oversight. It also requires public disclosure of spending. All funds stay local. A NO vote means the district cannot borrow this money.
