Gaming interests are all in on Propositions 26 and 27.
In just three weeks and one day, we’ll all be taking a gamble on democracy. Will our chosen candidates secure their seats? Will voter turnout be strong enough to warrant faith in the democratic process? And which way will the electoral winds blow on various local measures?
But to have a say, you’ve got to vote. In both Santa Cruz and Watsonville, residents will face additional decisions on three citywide measures. Some of these measures will raise funds for specific purposes. Others—Santa Cruz’s Measure O and Watsonville’s Measures Q and Measure S—will affect the city’s general plans, which are roadmaps for future development. On top of that, voters will weigh in on bond measures for three different school districts and a parcel tax measure to raise funds for the Boulder Creek Recreation and Park District. Details on all of these local measures, as well as statewide propositions, can be found on VotersEdge.org, which provides nonpartisan information courtesy of the League of Women Voters.
