I am a former two term Chandler city councilman. I give my full support and endorsement to this override campaign. I remain committed and dedicated to causes which will increase new business opportunities and grow our local economy. Based on the district's past performance and current success I feel CUSD will play a vital role in enhancing our future.
The financial acumen of CUSD was demonstrated throughout the "Great Recession" of 2007-2012. The wise and forward thinking leadership had built up a contingency/"rainy day" fund which allowed them to weather the drastic education cuts during this period. The district continues to be extremely frugal with its limited budget. No other district in Arizona of similar size has a higher percentage of its budget going directly to the classroom. CUSD also has the lowest administrative costs in the state. CUSD has proven itself to be a great investment. This is an override “continuation”; it will result in no additional taxes.
I do believe Chandler's best days are in the future. By demonstrating our support and voting for this Override, we can all help bring new business and innovation to the community. Mark your ballot Yes on November 7th.
I give my permission for this letter to be printed as a pro statement, letter to the editor, and for social media.
