South Pasadena Ca Finances

Look who's backing more taxes in South Pasadena. The taxpayers association. "There is no free lunch," said Tom Biesek, founder of the South Pasadena Taxpayers Assn. "You have got to pay for it." Funny. It doesn't sound like a taxpayers association. But Biesek's group is endorsing a bond measure to raise $28.7 million for school repairs. "This is 1995, not 1895, but a lot of the buildings look 1895," Biesek said. "You cannot teach in broken-down schoolrooms."
