Reasons to vote no on A

You might be a Measure A supporter if you believe: LandWatch cares about the economic future of Monterey
County.

East Salinas needs more residential density.

Elected officials are fair game for personal attack regardless of their records of service and integrity.

Sprawl is waiting at the county line, skipping San Martin, Morgan Hill, Gilroy and Aromas, ready to pave over the Salinas Valley.

Money given to LandWatch is pure; donations to Plan for the People are corrupt.

Measure A is so benevolent that it doesn't need an environmental impact report.

Peninsula voters are more knowledgeable about preserving farmland than the farmers.

Hospitality workers should commute from Los Banos.

The League of Women Voters' review of the general plans is impartial even though league leaders are LandWatch members.

If your intentions are good, your proposals need not be debated.

No on Measure A!
