Measure C Muddle
A political dirty trick is being foisted on the people of Huntington Beach. The trick: Paid telephone solicitors are identifying themselves as calling for Save Our Parks and urging support for Measure D and the developer candidates.
The truth: Save Our Parks is the group that founded Measure C, the Citizens’ Charter Amendment. Measure C gives the citizens a direct vote before the pro-developer City Council majority can lease away our beachfront for 35-foot-high restaurants and Central Park for hotels, large restaurants, amusement parks, etc. The public has the right to participate in decisions regarding major commercialization of their parks and beaches.
Save Our Parks rejects Measure D (the developers’ measure) as a fraud that was put on the ballot by the pro-developer City Council majority with the intent of deceiving the voters. Save Our Parks supports Measure C and the slate of Grace Winchell, Mark Porter and Linda Patterson.
Don’t be fooled: Measure C represents citizens. Measure D represents developers.
