Ready to write another $1,500 check to City Hall? That's what Measure Y's broken
promises cost your household, says the Chamber of Commerce.
With Y, City Hall promised much, but delivered little on those promises.
They promised neighborhood improvements. They spent only $10,000 annually fixing
dangerous neighborhood sidewalks, but $1,500,000 for fancy designer sidewalks
downtown and motel row. Seven years later -- neighborhood sidewalks remain
dangerous.
They promised neighborhood flood maintenance. Target's developers got six figures of
flood funds. Seven years later -- neighborhood culverts remain dangerously clogged.
During Y City Hall subsidized developers with sweetheart deals for YOUR public
property. One developer got prime downtown PUBLIC land, appraised at $8,800,000,
for just $1,100,000, and rented TAXPAYER -OWNED retail space for $0.85 per foot
when nearby rents approach $4.
Another developer got a $1,860,000 fee waiver and $500,000 "loan" FROM
TAXPAYERS. Chevron, the oil giant which hardly needs your help, may get as much as
$20,000,000 from CITY TAXPAYERS to develop a toxic site.
IS THIS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR?
Nor did they tell you Y would finance $6,000,000 a year in higher city salaries, and 23
pensions above $100,000!
City Hall knows you're unhappy with Y's broken promises. So they hired a pollster, who
told them: Talk about "accountability."
Measure Y also promised "citizen oversight and independent annual financial audits,"
but look how ineffective that was!
New talk of "accountability" is just electioneering.
THIS TAX CAN BE SPENT FOR ANYTHING!
Don't be fooled again.
Vote NO on G.
