City of Oakland Special Election July 21, 2009 BY MAIL ONLY |
WHAT?? There's another election?? What on earth for?!? Our friends at League of Women Voters have prepared an excellent analysis of the ballot measures. The LWV Voter's Guide is linked here for your information only, not as a recommendation by AAUW, which does not take positions on local ballot measures. This is a by-mail-only election, so watch your mail for your ballot and return it promptly. In this difficult budget year, it is more important than ever to learn about the fiscal effects of the ballot measures and cast an informed vote. |
