PHOENIX — The Western Maricopa Education Center (West-MEC) has two items on the Nov. 4 ballot: a $415 million bond proposal and a request to approve a real estate sale.
West-MEC Superintendent Scott Spurgeon said neither measure would result in a tax increase. The current tax rate for community members is $0.13 per $100 of assessed property value.
Spurgeon noted that he personally pays just over $55 per month in taxes to West-MEC. That amount would remain the same if the bond is approved.
“The exponential growth, there’s been a lot more economic growth happening in the West Valley,” Spurgeon told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
