No on Measure A

Not that any plan is perfect, but this isn't a plan.

It's an alteration to an outdated 1982 plan that could not imagine changes needed 25 years later.

Does it sound good for the people to vote on development? Maybe, but the reality is development has so many issues and the average voter will not be able to do the research and make an intelligent decision.

Whoever has enough money to impress you with their development may get to develop.

Especially if it's not in your neighborhood.

The democratic process entrusts those we vote for to do their jobs. It's always easy to judge and point fingers But our elected official do a good job. After seven years of input by many entities they finally have a plan for our future. It may not be perfect or please everyone - no plan ever will - but it's a plan that was thought out for our future.

Vote "no on A, B; "yes" on C, D.
