No on Measure A

As a concerned citizen and member of the Monterey County community for over 20 years, I have been following the progress of the GPU4 and Measure A.

What concerns me most about Measure A is its complete lack of flexibility. Coming from a business background, I know any plan has to be a living document. Communities, like businesses, grow and change and our ability to support them has to do the same. Measure A, however, written by out- of-town lawyers without input from our communities will set regulations in place without change for 25 years.

If you look at the changes that have occurred in our communities over the past 25 years and appreciate that the rate of change is accelerating, how can we support anything that inhibits our ability to adapt?

Please, vote "no" on Measure A.
