I would like to see a proposition that requires that whenever you receive a tax bill that includes a bond payment, like for a school bond, that your bill has to show you when the bond is due to be paid off.

For example, a local community college has 4 bonds they are collecting money to pay, its $200 here, $54 there, it adds up. I think that for every bond it should say $200-- bond will be paid off in 28 years. So people know on their tax bills they are going to be indebted for a very long time.

What do you think? Is there a way to get a proposition like this on the ballot?

Sounds like a good idea, I would like to know. I have no idea how to cause that to happen, the bureaucrats will be sure to tell us that to change all of the equipment to effect such a change will be very costly, of course!

good idea..

not sure how readily one could convince politicians to support that tho..

it should be doable.. and would be noticed as you mention.

If they can reprogram the DMV computers to pay back excessive fees(still haven't got our rebates yet), it might make their databases grow a bit but.. worth knowing and showing.
