Gotta question here.
I voted on a school bond last summer. It was for a 2nd high school. On the bond is says that it will be payed by an increase in the mills..aka property taxes. Needless to say, I voted no.
If Arnold gets his bond to pass, would voting yes mean automatic tax increases?

The money has to come from somewhere. Either taxes go up so general fund revenues can cover other things or other expenses must be cut to fund payment of the bond. Pick one. To me there is another huge issue here, which the media is doing its level best to suppress - competitiveness. The PRK is an expensive place to do business, and this is bad for profits and that is bad for state revenues. Call it supply side, but I think that is where Republicans really need to get together.

Depends on the wording of the bond, IIRC. They absolutely, positively, do mean inevitable tax increases.

Yes.
A bond is a tax. As I rule, I vote no on ALL bonds just the same as if it said it was a tax in its ballot description.
Unfortunately, the masses see it supposedly going for something like veterans homes or schools and automatically vote yes most of time.
Forget trying to explain to them that THEY and their children have to pay for it, or explain the prudence of cutting spending first.
