 My name is Steve Trujillo. I am running for the Cabrillo College Board of Trustees in District 7. What's interesting about District 7 is it covers a good portion of Northern Monterey County and a good portion of Southern Santa Cruz County. 15,500 voters and all. I have lived in both counties including Salinas and Monterey up until 1998 and then in 1998 I moved to Santa Cruz County so I'm very familiar with life in both counties. The reason I'm running is because community colleges are in crisis. Three out of every five community college students doesn't have a bed they can call their own, doesn't have enough food and doesn't even have medical insurance. Therefore, I am suggesting that Cabrillo College needs to establish an office of ombudsman to help any and all both students and employees make sure that these three basic needs are met. Currently there is no such office. In addition to that, we must not go to the homeowner every four or five years to ask them to come up with another $100 per year on their property taxes to fund Cabrillo. It's not fair. I support Proposition 15 which would eliminate that issue by allowing commercial firms that make more than $4 million a year in profit to have their property at market value rather than the value that they purchased it at. That's only fair. Now I'm hoping I'll have your vote. I am Steve Trujillo, candidate for Cabrillo College Board of Trustees, vote November 3rd, Trujillo for Cabrillo.
