BCHD's Misleading $30M Bond Funding Survey

BCHD refused to tell taxpayers that allcove has a 91% non-resident service area, that the assisted living will be 80% non-resident tenants, and that the PACE facility will only have 17 District residents out of 400 enrollees based on National PACE Association data.

WITHOUT THE FACTS - THE SURVEY WAS A USELESS WASTE OF TAXPAYER FUNDING!

Based on a California Public Records Act request, we know that BCHD refused to tell the WHOLE TRUTH to the survey recipients - probably to game the answers?

Please see below (in red) for the District’s response to your public records request received 5/17/24 that reads:

As part of the exploration of a bond, this spring the District hired a public policy research firm, FM3 (Los Angeles), to conduct a survey of 650 beach cities respondents between April 13 and April 18. Results found that 66% of likely voters in the three beach cities believe there is a need to fund local community health and wellness services, an increase of 14% from a similar survey in fall 2021.
