Here are some news stories about the candidates and measures that will appear on the Nov. 3, 2026 general election ballot. More stories will be posted here when they run in the Daily Post. Our coverage is available without pay walls. And we don’t want your donations.
Linda Henigin has apparently discovered the easiest way to solve a school budget: spend more, then send the bill to homeowners.
Her proposal? Pay teachers more—and fund it with yet another parcel tax. Because why bother finding savings or explaining how existing revenues are being spent when homeowners can simply be charged again?
Before asking taxpayers for another dime, Linda should explain what the district is doing with the revenue it already receives, where efficiencies can be found, and why another tax is necessary.
Supporting teachers is commendable. Making homeowners the automatic ATM isn’t a budget strategy.
I’m not going to even consider voting for Measure J until they release the appraisal. Why would a buyer spend $65 million without seeing the appraisal? We, the taxpayers, are the buyers, and we deserve to know what the property is worth. If the City Council doesn’t release the appraisal, I’m a “no” vote.
It is shocking to me that the City won’t release the Cubberley appraisal. They’ve given us no explanation for their action. They are purposefully hiding information from the voters, with no reason other than to influence the vote. It’s unethical. I thought at least Pat Burt and Ed Lauing would be better than this. Very disappointing.
When selecting school board candidates, don’t vote for the union-backed Linda Henigin. Never forget what the teacher unions did to our kids during covid! Now they’re bankrupting our school district with their over-the-top pay raises. No to Henigin.
