Santa Monica Ballot Measures
Measure T-YES
Limits commercial development to 75,000 square feet a year, with many exceptions, for the next 15 years. For a fairly concise argument,
go to http://www.bobbyshriver.com/MeasureT.pdf
Measure SM-NO
Amends the City's utility users' tax to
tax new forms of telecommunication services.
If it fails, the UUT will stay the same as it is now.
Measure AA-UNDECIDED
$295 million bond measure to modernize and expand Santa Monica College.
I initially supported this, but the financial crisis of the past two
months has weakened my resolve.
