Carl DeMaio and Reform California have released their “Plain English” voter guide to give you an easy-to-understand explanation of the ballot measures and to grade candidates.
WARNING! CA politicians have placed several deceptively-worded measures on your primary election ballot – and special interests are funding dishonest campaigns to trick voters and split the vote in key races.
Check out Reform California's “Plain English” Voter Guide below so you know what you are actually voting on – complete with ratings for all candidates on your ballot (including school board and judges) along with red flags on any measures with hidden tax hikes.
Worse, Republicans are at risk of being SHUTOUT of the runoff in several key races – and in other races special interests are backing tax-raising sellouts! That's why Reform California’s Voter Guide seeks to unite the common-sense vote behind the most viable principled FIGHTER in each race.
Review the guide below - and share it with your friends, family and neighbors!
Measure A (NO)
City of San Diego Tax Increase
Creates a new “Empty Homes” Tax of $10,000 per home that is charged for any home that is not owner-occupied at least 182 days of the year or rented to another person. We urge a NO vote because San Diego city politicians refuse to eliminate epic levels of wasteful spending and have been on a tax-raising spree for ten years. This is just their latest money grabbing scheme.
Measure H (YES)
Tri-City Healthcare District Management Agreement
Authorizes an agreement to hand over management of Tri City Medical Center to Sharp HealthCare to achieve efficiencies.
