Rep. Ben Keathley breaks down Rockwood Proposition S, a 45 cent levy increase to fund operations and salaries on an off-year ballot. He criticizes holding tax elections in low turnout years and argues they should align with major elections. He outlines declining enrollment while administrative positions rise, ongoing concerns about teacher pay and retention and questions about whether the district is using current funds efficiently. He also addresses reassessment year impacts, tax rate complexity and claims that Prop S could skirt taxpayer protections.
