ffirehorse writes “More on the Salinas library crisis from the LA Times:
‘Knocking on doors to try to reach voters about the budget crisis, library supporters faced what turned out to be insurmountable challenges: One was that the tax measures did not specifically mention the library, only the city’s general fund.
‘Another was that many people did not take the issue seriously. Some said the city was crying wolf and would find a way to pay for the services. Other voters said the shortage was the result of fiscal mismanagement, and they refused to throw more good tax dollars after bad. Still others decided they were just too poor to approve any more taxes.’“
