MAY'S WILD RIDE: Wheat rose 2.6 percent as questions persisted about how much dry weather has affected the crop in Kansas. In a matter of two weeks, the price has hit a high for the year and also nearly hit a 2012 low, largely because of weather issues.
The passage of Measure A, the Clovis Unified bond, would not increase the current tax rate. It would simply maintain the current tax rate. The current bond tax rate is lower than it has been in any time in the past 25 years.
For that continuing investment, Clovis Unified would be able to maintain its high-quality schools and make necessary repairs and upgrades to every school in the district, including Dry Creek Elementary School, where my daughter attends. Every project promised in past school bonds for Clovis Unified has been completed.
Clovis has been, and still is, fiscally responsible. Let's continue to put our faith in Clovis Unified for our kids' education.
