OCCUPATION:Assemblyman,67th District
A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
I ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member,I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to cleanup our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members.
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman
Assemblyman,67th District

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
OFFICE NO.27
GLENDA SANDERS
OCCUPATION: Trial Attorney/Law Professor
Why should you vote for me?
Not just because Sheriff Mike Carona,District Attorney Tony Rackauckas,
and the Orange County Professional Firefighters endorse me.
Not just because the Orange County Bar Association has given me its top
rating of"Highly Qualified."
Not just because Judge Robert Monarch has retired from this Office No.27
and has endorsed me as his successor,or because dozens of other judges,
including Assistant Presiding Judge David McEachen, Judge Nho Trong
Nguyen,and Judge Stuart Waldrip(Ret.),are united behind my candidacy.
Not just because the L.A.Times concluded in March that"...Sanders is the
most impressive candidate seeking a seat on the Superior Court Bench in
Orange County this election and should be an outstanding judge."
Notjust because you have already supported me with the highest number of
votes in the March primary.
Not just because I have both criminal and civil experience,having practiced
as a trial attorney, a Special Assistant Deputy District Attorney in Orange
County,and as a partner in the Orange County office of Latham&Watkins,
a nationally recognized law firm. During my 20 year legal career,my cases
have included capital homicides, kidnappings,gang-related cases,family
law disputes and complex civil disputes.
Or because I am involved in our community,having served on the boards of
charities like Human Options, which helps those affected by domestic
violence, and Girls' Inc., which promotes healthy after-school activities
among teenage girls.
Or because I have taught law at Chapman University Law School,where
President Jim Doti and Law School Dean, Parham Williams, endorse my
candidacy.
Ultimately I believe I deserve your vote because,as a committed member of
this community and the mother of two children,the proper enforcement of
our laws and the safety of our neighborhoods are paramount concerns for
me. I support the Three Strikes Law and the death penalty in appropriate
cases. I have spent hundreds of hours providing free legal advice to victims
of fraud,and I fully support Victims'Rights.
In addition to those above,my endorsements include:
United States Representatives Christopher Cox, Loretta Sanchez and Ed
Royce;State Senators Dick Ackerman, Lou Correa,Joe Dunn,and Ross
Johnson;Assemblymembers Pat Bates,Bill Campbell,John Campbell and
Ken Maddox.
With your vote I will work diligently to support law and order for you and your
family.

TAX RATE STATEMENT
MEASURE C
An election will be held in the Coast Community College District(the"District")on November 5,2002,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the
District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in an aggregate principal amount of$370 million. If such bonds are authorized and
sold,the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following
information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
1.The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time offiling of this statement,is 1.626¢per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.8440 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply, based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.861$per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast, Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded. Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
• Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
• Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls,and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.

MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY,67TH DISTRICT
TOM HARMAN
OCCUPATION:Assemblyman,67th District
A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
I ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member,I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to cleanup our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members.
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman
Assemblyman,67th District
P.S.As always,my number one priority is to serve you.Do not hesitate to
contact me at (714) 843-4966 to suggest needed legislation, to voice
concerns about state issues,or for assistance with any state agency.

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
OFFICE NO.27
GLENDA SANDERS
OCCUPATION: Trial Attorney/Law Professor
Why should you vote for me?
Not just because Sheriff Mike Carona,District Attorney Tony Rackauckas,
and the Orange County Professional Firefighters endorse me.
Not just because the Orange County Bar Association has given me its top
rating of"Highly Qualified."
Not just because Judge Robert Monarch has retired from this Office No.27
and has endorsed me as his successor,or because dozens of other judges,
including Assistant Presiding Judge David McEachen, Judge Nho Trong
Nguyen,and Judge Stuart Waldrip(Ret.),are united behind my candidacy.
Not just because the L.A.Times concluded in March that"...Sanders is the
most impressive candidate seeking a seat on the Superior Court Bench in
Orange County this election and should be an outstanding judge."
Notjust because you have already supported me with the highest number of
votes in the March primary.
Not just because I have both criminal and civil experience,having practiced
as a trial attorney, a Special Assistant Deputy District Attorney in Orange
County,and as a partner in the Orange County office of Latham&Watkins,
a nationally recognized law firm. During my 20 year legal career,my cases
have included capital homicides, kidnappings, gang-related cases,family
law disputes and complex civil disputes.
Or because I am involved in our community,having served on the boards of
charities like Human Options, which helps those affected by domestic
violence, and Girls' Inc., which promotes healthy after-school activities
among teenage girls.
Or because I have taught law at Chapman University Law School,where
President Jim Doti and Law School Dean, Parham Williams, endorse my
candidacy.
Ultimately I believe I deserve your vote because,as a committed member of
this community and the mother of two children,the proper enforcement of
our laws and the safety of our neighborhoods are paramount concerns for
me. I support the Three Strikes Law and the death penalty in appropriate
cases. I have spent hundreds of hours providing free legal advice to victims
of fraud,and I fully support Victims'Rights.
In addition to those above,my endorsements include:
United States Representatives Christopher Cox, Loretta Sanchez and Ed
Royce; State Senators Dick Ackerman, Lou Correa,Joe Dunn,and Ross
Johnson;Assemblymembers Pat Bates,Bill Campbell,John Campbell and
Ken Maddox.

will disapprove the issuance of the bonds and the levy of the taxes for such
bonded indebtedness.
TAX RATE STATEMENT
MEASURE C
An election will be held in the Coast Community College District(the"District")on November 5,2002,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the
District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in an aggregate principal amount of$370 million. If such bonds are authorized and
sold,the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following
information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
1.The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement,is 1.6260 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.8440 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply,based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.861¢per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast,Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded, Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
• Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
• Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls,and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.

Development and State Senator

MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY,67TH DISTRICT
TOM HARMAN
OCCUPATION:Assemblyman,67th District
A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
I ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member,I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to cleanup our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members.
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman
Assemblyman,67th District
P.S.As always,my number one priority is to serve you. Do not hesitate to
contact me at (714) 843-4966 to suggest needed legislation, to voice
concerns about state issues,or for assistance with any state agency.

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
OFFICE NO.27
GLENDA SANDERS
OCCUPATION: Trial Attorney/Law Professor
Why should you vote for me?
Not just because Sheriff Mike Carona,District Attorney Tony Rackauckas,
and the Orange County Professional Firefighters endorse me.
Not just because the Orange County Bar Association has given me its top
rating of"Highly Qualified."
Not just because Judge Robert Monarch has retired from this Office No.27
and has endorsed me as his successor,or because dozens of other judges,
including Assistant Presiding Judge David McEachen, Judge Nho Trong
Nguyen,and Judge Stuart Waldrip(Ret.),are united behind my candidacy.
Not just because the L.A.Times concluded in March that"...Sanders is the
most impressive candidate seeking a seat on the Superior Court Bench in
Orange County this election and should be an outstanding judge."
Notjust because you have already supported me with the highest number of
votes in the March primary.
Not just because I have both criminal and civil experience,having practiced
as a trial attorney, a Special Assistant Deputy District Attorney in Orange
County,and as a partner in the Orange County office of Latham&Watkins,
a nationally recognized law firm. During my 20 year legal career,my cases
have included capital homicides, kidnappings, gang-related cases,family
law disputes and complex civil disputes.
Or because I am involved in our community,having served on the boards of
charities like Human Options, which helps those affected by domestic
violence, and Girls' Inc., which promotes healthy after-school activities
among teenage girls.
Or because I have taught law at Chapman University Law School,where
President Jim Doti and Law School Dean, Parham Williams, endorse my
candidacy.
Ultimately I believe I deserve your vote because,as a committed member of
this community and the mother of two children,the proper enforcement of
our laws and the safety of our neighborhoods are paramount concerns for
me. I support the Three Strikes Law and the death penalty in appropriate
cases. I have spent hundreds of hours providing free legal advice to victims
of fraud,and I fully support Victims'Rights.
In addition to those above,my endorsements include:
United States Representatives Christopher Cox, Loretta Sanchez and Ed
Royce; State Senators Dick Ackerman, Lou Correa,Joe Dunn,and Ross
Johnson;Assemblymembers Pat Bates,Bill Campbell,John Campbell and
Ken Maddox.
With your vote I will work diligently to support law and order for you and your
family.

information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
1.The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement,is 1.6260 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.844¢per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply,based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.8610 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast,Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded. Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
• Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
• Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls,and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.

Development and State Senator

TOM HARMAN
OCCUPATION:Assemblyman,67th District
A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
1 ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member, I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to clean up our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman
Assemblyman,67th District

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
OFFICE NO.27
GLENDA SANDERS
OCCUPATION: Trial Attorney/Law Professor
Why should you vote for me?
Not just because Sheriff Mike Carona, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas,
and the Orange County Professional Firefighters endorse me.
Not just because the Orange County Bar Association has given me its top
rating of"Highly Qualified."
Not just because Judge Robert Monarch has retired from this Office No.27
and has endorsed me as his successor,or because dozens of other judges,
including Assistant Presiding Judge David McEachen, Judge Nho Trong
Nguyen,and Judge Stuart Waldrip(Ret.),are united behind my candidacy.
Not just because the L.A.Times concluded in March that"...Sanders is the
most impressive candidate seeking a seat on the Superior Court Bench in
Orange County this election and should be an outstanding judge."
Notjust because you have already supported me with the highest number of
votes in the March primary.
Not just because I have both criminal and civil experience,having practiced
as a trial attorney,a Special Assistant Deputy District Attorney in Orange
County,and as a partner in the Orange County office of Latham&Watkins,
a nationally recognized law firm. During my 20 year legal career,my cases
have included capital homicides, kidnappings, gang-related cases,family
law disputes and complex civil disputes.
Or because I am involved in our community,having served on the boards of
charities like Human Options, which helps those affected by domestic
violence, and Girls' Inc., which promotes healthy after-school activities
among teenage girls.
Or because I have taught law at Chapman University Law School,where
President Jim Doti and Law School Dean, Parham Williams, endorse my
candidacy.
Ultimately I believe I deserve your vote because,as a committed member of
this community and the mother of two children,the proper enforcement of
our laws and the safety of our neighborhoods are paramount concerns for
me. I support the Three Strikes Law and the death penalty in appropriate
cases. I have spent hundreds of hours providing free legal advice to victims
of fraud,and I fully support Victims'Rights.
In addition to those above,my endorsements include:
United States Representatives Christopher Cox, Loretta Sanchez and Ed
Royce; State Senators Dick Ackerman, Lou Correa,Joe Dunn, and Ross
Johnson;Assemblymembers Pat Bates,Bill Campbell,John Campbell and
Ken Maddox.
With your vote I will work diligently to support law and order for you and your
family.

TAX RATE STATEMENT
MEASURE C
An election will be held in the Coast Community College District(the"District")on November 5,2002,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the
District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in an aggregate principal amount of$370 million. If such bonds are authorized and
sold,the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following
information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
13he best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement,is 1.6260 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.8440 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply, based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.8610 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast,Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded. Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls, and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.

MEMBER OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY,67TH DISTRICT
TOM HARMAN
OCCUPATION:Assemblyman,67th District
A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
I ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member,I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to clean up our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members.
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman
Assemblyman,67th District
P.S.As always,my number one priority is to serve you.Do not hesitate to
contact me at (714) 843-4966 to suggest needed legislation, to voice
concerns about state issues,or for assistance with any state agency.

JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT
OFFICE NO.27
GLENDA SANDERS
OCCUPATION: Trial Attorney/Law Professor
Why should you vote for me?
Not just because Sheriff Mike Carona,District Attorney Tony Rackauckas,
and the Orange County Professional Firefighters endorse me.
Not just because the Orange County Bar Association has given me its top
rating of"Highly Qualified."
Not just because Judge Robert Monarch has retired from this Office No.27
and has endorsed me as his successor,or because dozens of other judges,
including Assistant Presiding Judge David McEachen, Judge Nho Trong
Nguyen,and Judge Stuart Waldrip(Ret.),are united behind my candidacy.
Not just because the L.A.Times concluded in March that"...Sanders is the
most impressive candidate seeking a seat on the Superior Court Bench in
Orange County this election and should be an outstanding judge."
Notjust because you have already supported me with the highest number of
votes in the March primary.
Not just because I have both criminal and civil experience,having practiced
as a trial attorney,a Special Assistant Deputy District Attorney in Orange
County,and as a partner in the Orange County office of Latham&Watkins,
a nationally recognized law firm. During my 20 year legal career,my cases
have included capital homicides, kidnappings,gang-related cases,family
law disputes and complex civil disputes.
Or because I am involved in our community,having served on the boards of
charities like Human Options, which helps those affected by domestic
violence, and Girls' Inc., which promotes healthy after-school activities
among teenage girls.
Or because I have taught law at Chapman University Law School,where
President Jim Doti and Law School Dean, Parham Williams, endorse my
candidacy.
Ultimately I believe I deserve your vote because,as a committed member of
this community and the mother of two children,the proper enforcement of
our laws and the safety of our neighborhoods are paramount concerns for
me. I support the Three Strikes Law and the death penalty in appropriate
cases. I have spent hundreds of hours providing free legal advice to victims
of fraud,and I fully support Victims'Rights.
In addition to those above,my endorsements include:
United States Representatives Christopher Cox, Loretta Sanchez and Ed
Royce; State Senators Dick Ackerman, Lou Correa,Joe Dunn,and Ross
Johnson;Assemblymembers Pat Bates,Bill Campbell,John Campbell and
Ken Maddox.
With your vote I will work diligently to support law and order for you and your
family.

stream of property tax revenues that may occur due to development would
be less subject to risk. Realization of these revenues could be postponed
due to delays in the development resulting from the discovery of previously

TAX RATE STATEMENT
MEASURE C
An election will be held in the Coast Community College District(the"District")on November 5,2002,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the
District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in an aggregate principal amount of$370 million. If such bonds are authorized and
sold,the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following
information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
1.The best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement,is 1.6260 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.8440 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply, based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.8610 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast, Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded. Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
• Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
• Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls,and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.

A Special Message from State Assemblyman Tom Harman:
Dear Friend,
I ran for State Assembly in 2000 because I believe our government must
be more accountable to the people.Thank you for the trust and confidence
you showed by electing me.
In my first term as your State Assembly Member,I have:
1) Strongly opposed any new tax increases;
2) Voted to improve public education by supporting higher academic
standards and giving teachers the tools they need to do their jobs;
3) Authored legislation to cleanup our beaches and stop the discharge
of untreated sewage into the ocean;
4) Authored legislation to prohibit politicians from voting on matters in
which they have a conflict of interest.
That is why I have been endorsed by Congressman Ed Royce, State
Senator Ross Johnson, Supervisor Jim Silva, former Assemblymember
Scott Baugh and numerous local elected city councilmembers and school
board members.
I look forward to serving you for the next two years.
Respectfully,
Tom Harman

Accordingly,there is no direct fiscal effect to the general fund of the County

stream of property tax revenues that may occur due to development would
be less subject to risk. Realization of these revenues could be postponed
due to delays in the development resulting from the discovery of previously

TAX RATE STATEMENT
MEASURE C
An election will be held in the Coast Community College District(the"District")on November 5,2002,for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the
District the question of incurring a bonded indebtedness of the District in an aggregate principal amount of$370 million. If such bonds are authorized and
sold,the principal thereof and interest thereon will be payable from the proceeds of tax levies made upon the taxable property in the District. The following
information regarding tax rates is given to comply with Section 9401 of the California Elections Code. Such information is based upon the best estimates and
projections presently available from official sources,upon experience within the District,and other demonstrable factors.
Based upon the foregoing and projections of the District's assessed valuation,and assuming the entire debt service will be paid through property taxation:
13he best estimate of the tax which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the sale of the first series of bonds,
based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement,is 1.6260 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2003-2004.
2.The best estimate from official sources of the tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue during the first fiscal year after the last
sale of the bonds and an estimate of the year in which that rate will apply,based on estimated assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this
statement,is 1.8440 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year 2014-2015.
3.The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund the bond issue and an estimate of the year in which that rate will
apply, based on estimated assessed valuation available at the time of filing of this statement, is 1.8610 per$100 of assessed valuation for the year
2010-2011.
The average annual tax levy is projected to be$16.76 per$100,000 of real property valuation.
Attention to all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only. The actual times of sales of said
bonds and the amount sold at any given time will be governed by the needs of the District and other factors. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will
be sold,which in any event will not exceed the maximum permitted by law,will depend upon the bond market at the time of sales. The actual assessed
values in the future years will depend upon the value of property within the District as determined in the assessment and the equalization process.
Accordingly,the actual tax rates and the years in which such rates are applicable may vary from those presently estimated as above stated.

ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE C
For more than half a century, Orange Coast,Golden West and Coastline
Community Colleges have provided excellent,affordable education to more
than a million students. These community colleges provide a skilled
workforce, prepare students for better-paying jobs, and keep the
communities of our district safe and healthy. Our police,nursing and other
health care professional programs have trained thousands of health and
safety professionals over the years.
However, decades-old campus facilities and buildings threaten quality
education.Classrooms,labs and libraries need upgrades to accommodate
modern technology. Outdated fire safety equipment and drainage systems
need replacement.Additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls are
also needed to accommodate growing enrollment.
Measure C repairs and improves Orange Coast, Golden West and
Coastline Community Colleges at a time when other community colleges in
California are being forced to cut classes and turn away students.
Faculty, staff and students identified urgent needs, seeking community
input on priorities. Hundreds of citizens responded. Our needs are critical
—and less expensive to address now than in the future. Projects include:
• Constructing additional classrooms,laboratories and lecture halls
• Replacing old portable buildings,deteriorating walls,and utility systems
from the 1940's
• Improving fire safety and security systems
• Upgrading and improving overcrowded libraries
• Expanding law enforcement and health training academies for police and
nursing students
Measure C is subject to tough fiscal accountability requirements.
Financial audits MUST be published annually, with all expenditures
monitored by an independent Citizens' Oversight Committee to ensure
funds are spent as specified in the Bond Plan.
The Bond Oversight Committee will include senior,taxpayer,and business
representatives and finance and construction experts. NO district
employees or vendors can serve, and NO money can be spent on
administrators'salaries.
Join faculty,students,business and community leaders—VOTE YES on C.
