Re: False and Misleading Statements in Voter Guide
Dear Gentlemen:
In your rebuttal argument printed on every ballot,you stated that"Measure B is bad for open space."
This statement is false and misleading.
Measure B is a well-drafted, effective open space plan. It will halt the City's plan for massive
development in vast areas of our mountains, canyons and alluvial fans. Measure B dramatically
increases the number of acres that will be preserved as open space across our local mountains and
sturoundnig areas. It is incredible that anyone could possibly suggest that Measure B is "bad" for
open space.
The Save Our Mountains Campaign demands that each of you correct this misleading statement by
issuing, no later than 5700 p.m. on February 23, 2005, a written statement that states:
"In our ballot argument we stated that Measure B is bad for open space. This statement is
incorrect. In fact, Measure B is good for open space because it will preserve vast areas of
open space across our local mountains that would otherwise be developed under the
existing law."
We further demand that this statement be mailed by priority mail to each individual who was sent the
misleading ballot argument.
Sincerely,
Savo Our Mountains Campaign
