590 days ago - Julie Turner, like most Millbrae parents, said she figured last May’s parcel tax measure for the city’s cash-strapped school district was a lock to pass.Turner and other parents did not talk to voters, man phone banks or pass out fliers, assuming the community would support the measure. The city’s 11,500 voters, however, cast about 4,200 ballots and the measure failed by two percent. The district has since added to its budget cuts — now totaling $1.8 million during the past five years.
