Measure C: $37M college facilities bond
Your pick
What it does: Bonds for veterans' transition facilities, classrooms and labs, a university center, child care, trades training, safety systems, roofs and HVAC, solar, and seismic and ADA repairs. It can't pay salaries. Some projects assume state matching money. Annual audits and a citizens' oversight committee. 55% to pass. [2]
Does it solve a lasting problem? Small rural college, old buildings and a modest ask. Supporters say they'll partner with Barstow Community Hospital and BNSF on job training. [3]
