Yes on A, No on 98 and Get on the Bus!
Dear Friends,
Yes, it has been a while since I have emailed. This month, you will be receiving two emails from me. It’s another one of those years… when we have THREE elections!
I am inviting you to two events:
(1) No on 98, Yes on A H(API) Hour
In order to raise awareness on the upcoming election on Tuesday, June 3, please join H(API) Hour, David Chiu, San Francisco School Board Commissioner Hydra Mendoza and myself.
Thursday, May 15
6-8pm
Azul Lounge at 1 Tillman Place
(One block from Union Square and close to Powell BART Station.)
Prop 98 eliminates rent control, affordable housing and environmental laws. Yes, I said it eliminates rent control in California!
NO, NO, NO!
For more information, read HERE.
Prop A is a school parcel tax ensuring more adequate pay and training for San Francisco teachers. In addition, Proposition A will help schools upgrade and replace old technologies and school computers.
YES, YES, YES!
For more information, read HERE.
These two important ballot measures greatly affect our quality of life and the quality of our communities. Please join in supporting Prop A and opposing Prop 98.
