MEASURE S PASSES
FOURTH TRY IS THE CHARM
Greater Orange
Measure S School Bond
Measure S School Bond
After
four previous attempts to have voters approve a bond measure, the voters of
Greater Orange approved Measure S. The $288 million bond measure will be evenly
split between Orange Unified's four comprehensive high schools.
The
win for Measure S was another loss in a string of losses for former Villa Park
Councilwomen Deborah Pauly. The Orange
County Republican Party also opposed Measure S.
While
more organized and well financed, Measure S supporters were also helped by the unusual
colliding over writing the opposition ballot language for Measure S by two fringe anti-Measure S politicians- Pauly and former OUSD
Trustee Steve Rocco. Ultimately the courts ruled against
Pauly.
Following that court victory, Rocco's ballot rebuttal to the Measure S ballot statement was not accepted by the Orange County Registrar of Voters.

The
underfinanced and outnumbered anti-Measure A side took to unusual tactics
including spray painting Yes on Measure A signs to turn them into No
signs. In a last ditch effort over the
weekend, an anti-Measure A mass mailing to a few zip codes in Orange clearly
violated state election laws that require
financial committee names and FPPC numbers on political mailers.
In
the OUSD Trustee races for two seats, Trustee Area 2 incumbent John Ortega
easily won re-election over Orange Planning Commissioner Daniel Correa in his
first contested race since being elected in the 2001 Orange Recall.
In
OUSD Trustee Area 6, Pastor Brenda Lebsack ran as a slate with Ortega. Lebsack
defeated her two opponents Nicole Baitix-Kennedy and current Trustee Mark
Wayland's son Jeremy Wayland.

Didn't term limits pass for OUSD board members? When does it take effect?
