Many November Ballot Measures Unlikely to Spark Controversy
Yesterday, Beyond Chron detailed the ballot arguments submitted for half the measures for this year’s election cycle, revealing a strong effort by progressives to push forward their agenda. While there appears little opposition to this effort, some major players are sidling up to the table, and fights will take place. The second half of the ballot measures, however, could be a long list of snoozers. With the exception of an attempt to get the Mayor to appear regularly before the Board of Supervisors for questioning, most of these measures sparked little controversy. While Prop. J, which calls for the impeachment of President George W. Bush, will be sure to snag some national media attention, the rest of the crop probably won’t be remembered past November.
