[Magdalen] A telling pic.

>>>Telling indeed.  I hope they do not go for the public-private 
partnership model as that works out much more expensive in the long run 
and there can be problems down the line.  Scotland had a major issue 
with a similar funding model just after Easter when a school wall 
collapsed.  Checks of other buildings built by the same firm under the 
same agreement showed faults with a number of them as well.  Basically 
the work had not been of good quality and if things go wrong then the 
statutory authority has to pick up the tab.<<<

No worries as to quality, as there's so many watchdogs, both pro and con, on this one that no one with anything other than unlimited gold stars in their quality crown would be allowed to touch it.

As for funding, the only "public" part will be the eventual Prop 218 vote to get taxpayer approval to institute a new assessment to pay for it.
