Weston Ranch leaders playing political football with MUSD
Placeholder Image
Let me see if I’ve got this straight.Some of the same taxpayers in Weston Ranch that want to use $4 million in Mello Roos taxes to put in artificial turf at the Weston Ranch High stadium as well as an all-weather track are threatening to sue the Manteca Unified school board about how the district has spent Mello Roos taxes in the past.At the same time they’ve essentially threatened the school board if they don’t do their bidding that they will form a committee to “educate voters” on just how bad they are as board members. Freely translated, they were telling the board if you don’t do what we want you to do we’re coming after you in the next election.It sounds like the perfect script for the political version of the Twilight Zone.Last things first: The issue is with Weston Ranch Mello Roos taxes paid only by those with property in Weston Ranch. The district now elects all seven trustees by district.
