BizFed's 2018 Chairman Steve Bullock would like to invite you to join BizFed's Executive Committee via conference call on Thursday, March 14, 2019, from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm to discuss BizFed taking an OPPOSE position regarding the LAUSD Parcel Tax and submitting a Ballot Argument in OPPOSITION by Friday, March 15, 2019.

Reasons for opposition include:

1. Lack of stakeholder involvement prior to voting and placement on the June 4th ballot.
2. It is a per square foot parcel tax, not a flat rate, ultimately putting the burden on the business community.
3. This measure doesn't require any fundamental reform that will fix the school district.
4. The funds raised through this parcel tax will mainly fund long-term healthcare or pension benefits for employees.

The following item is coming to us with urgency because the deadline to submit ballot arguments in favor/against is March 15th, which is before our regularly scheduled March Board of Directors meeting.
