State Center Trustees Put $698M Bond Measure on November Ballot

Update, 5:38 p.m.: The State Center Community College District Board of Directors voted 7-0 to put a $698 million bond measure on the November ballot.

There was little discussion by the board before the vote, but the trustees heard from a number of audience members in person and online expressing strong support for the bond measure.

The trustees also heard from consultants who detailed community support for a bond measure, in particular from surveyed women who were likelier to vote in favor of the bond measure than the men surveyed.

“One of the things that happened fairly recently is there’s been a shift in the national discourse with a certain political campaign,” consultant Catherine Lew said in apparent reference to Vice President Kamala Harris rising to the top of the Democratic ticket. “And we are expecting that women will continue to be very energized on a number of issues, including yours.”
