The Long Beach Unified School District opposes it. L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe opposes it.

Not enough information has been given about the tax with specific dollar amounts of where it will be spent. Let's wait for the public hearing on Jan 15th before the LA County Board of Supervisors before the Long Beach City Council jumps in on this.

We need to know what are the alternatives.
