No surprise to me to see most #Dumbocrat political proponents of new #Oakland #ballotmeasure to raise parcel #tax burden on city #homeowners are lying in the ads stating this "new" measure will magically be lowering #taxes while simultaneously addressing countless local gov shortcomings and solving endless fiscal issues that somehow weren't solved the last time this same exact lazy solution was voted in just a couple yrs back ...

#Oakland property taxes have gone up 65% since 2013, just to maintain the basics of declining #infrastructure, public safety and simple city services amidst severe structural #Dumbocrat deficits.
Under indicted Mayor Sheng Tao's leadership, the city suspended voter-mandated restrictions on the use of #BallotMeasure tax money that was originally sold to jilted #voters as only way to maintain minimum #police staffing & funding for #parks and recreation.
The ballooning pension costs and city worker wages have grown 2.5x faster than #inflation and puts $1 of every $4 in unrestricted tax revenues towards public worker #retirement and salary increases. Interest alone on unfunded worker #pensions are expected to cost $1.5B over the next 20 years ...

#Newsom plan to #Gerrymander #California #voting districts in obvious overwhelming favor of #DemocratParty finds opposition push from rich #GOP supporting silver spoon #SiliconValley son of a billionaire #BerkshireHathaway exec, who has put up his own $10 million to obfuscate and oppose #BallotMeasure effort.
More than $34 Million has been raised to sway voters so far on either side of ccontroversial #Prop50 midterm #redistricting scheme to add seats to state's already dominant donkey #Congressional caucus.

The #ballotmeasure, when appropriate, would dispatch #EMS and #mentalhealth workers to help someone in a mental health or addiction crisis, instead of the police.
But first, we have to collect 25,000 valid #signatures to get it on the ballot.

Over 85% of approx 108,000 #SanMateo voters approve the removal of ethically challenged sheriff Christina Corpus by a four fifths vote of county supervisors. Support for the unique #BallotMeasure garnered 90,900 votes for her removal, more than she won her office with. 17,318 county residents voted against removing the embattled #LawEnforcement official who has so far lost support of seven cities in the county, two sheriff’s unions,state and federal congressional leaders that have all called for Corpus to resign.
“While the initiative was in many ways unprecedented, it is our firm belief that, in this case, decisive action was necessary,” local #PoliceUnions said in a joint statement. “Today’s certified vote means that Sheriff Corpus’s reign of unscrupulous mismanagement will soon come to an end.”
Corpus says she has no plans to resign and her legal team is ready to fight the matter out in the courts saying she is "entitled to a public evidentiary hearing before a neutral and unbiased body. My legal team and I look forward to this opportunity, and are confident that I will be vindicated through a legitimate process.”

Good News from the #Election no one's talking about: #Maine #Question1, which limits campaign contributions by #billionaires, passes with NEARLY THREE QUARTERS OF THE VOTE.
This shows MASSIVE, #bipartisan, money-overcoming support for a #BallotMeasure to remove money from politics, paving a clear path for similar ballot measures in other states in 2022.
Have a video with more information...

This is the kind of thing we need to rally around, as #activists: undermining the money in #US #Politics, #corruption, and the #TwoParty System in general.

The Republican administration is pressuring Florida stations to take down an #ad that promotes a “#yes” #vote on #Amendment4, which would #enshrine #abortionrights in the #state #constitution.

This is insane. #DeSantis is threatening a TV station for airing an ad in support of a lawful #ballotMeasure to enshrine the right to #abortion in #Florida's state #constitution. This is absolutely crazy.

In #Arizona, #AbortionRights advocates have said they gathered enough signatures to create a #BallotMeasure that will ask #voters whether to amend the state constitution to prohibit any “#law, regulation, policy or practice” interfering w/ #abortion before fetal viability or later if needed to “protect the life or physical or mental #health of the pregnant individual.”

The Nov 5 #UnitedStates #elections could change the state of play in the 2 states. #Florida’s top court approved a #BallotMeasure asking #voters whether to amend the #StateConstitution to bar #laws that “prohibit, penalize, delay or restrict #abortion” before fetal viability “or when necessary to protect the patient's #health.”
