Ballot measure offers local control and accountability in spending tax dollars by lowering threshold to approve bonds.
Waves crash into a seawall in Pacifica on Jan. 11, 2021. Proposition 5 will help communities raise funds for local projects to protect our shorelines against sea level rise.
The current two-thirds vote for local bonds is democratically unfair and enables special interests and a small minority of voters to obstruct the will of a supermajority of voters who support a well-planned measure with broad community support. It also imposes a stricter requirement for city and county bonds than is required for passage of state bonds, where only a simple majority vote is required.
Our region is also especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten to inundate our neighborhoods, highways and public infrastructure. Proposition 5 would help community leaders raise funds for local projects to protect our shorelines and safeguard clean water.
