On
June 7, California will hold its primary. No party affiliation voters
can vote in the American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian
presidential primary elections. All voters can vote for all candidates
for the State legislature, U.S. Congress, and statewide offices, with
the top two advancing to the fall election. The deadline to register to vote at your current address is Monday, May 23. Update it online today!
California has one statewide proposition, the Bay Area has one regional proposition, and San Francisco has five city and county propositions. Below is a summary of the measures, as well as those situated on both sides.
* State Proposition 50: Suspension of Legislators.
Currently, a suspension requires a majority vote, and suspended individuals continue receiving pay and benefits. This measure would adjust the threshold to a two-thirds vote, and suspended individuals would no longer receive pay and benefits. Only three legislators (including State Sen. Leland Yee) have been suspended in California history.
YES: Democratic Party; Republican Party; Bay Area Reporter; Sacramento Bee; San Jose Mercury News; League of Women Voters
NO: SF Libertarian Party; Los Angeles Times
* Regional Proposition AA: Clean Water, Pollution Prevention, and Habitat Restoration Programs.
A property parcel tax on the Bay Area's nine counties would fund shoreline projects to reduce trash and pollution, improve water quality, improve wildlife habitats, reduce flood risks, and increase shoreline access. Requires 2/3 vote to pass.
YES: SF Chronicle; SF Examiner; SF Democratic Party; Gov. Jerry Brown; Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom; Sen. Dianne Feinstein; Sen. Barbara Boxer; State Sen. Mark Leno; Assemblyman Phil Ting; SF Mayor Ed Lee; Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf; San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo; SPUR; SF Chamber of Commerce; Sierra Club
NO: SF Bay Guardian; SF Republican Party; SF Libertarian Party
* Local Proposition A: Public Health and Safety Bond.
This would allow San Francisco to borrow up to $350 million via bonds to build, acquire, and improve homeless shelters, neighborhood health clinics, fire stations, the City's ambulance facility, and the Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center. Requires 2/3 vote to pass.

NO: SF Libertarian Party
* Local Proposition B: Park, Recreation, and Open Space Fund.
Funding for San Francisco's parks, playgrounds, recreation facilities, and open spaces would be extended for an additional 15 years (through 2046) from the property value tax. Also, a new requirement would be to guarantee a minimum baseline of secondary funding from the General Fund for the Recreation and Park Department.
YES: SF Examiner; SF Democratic Party; SF Chamber of Commerce; Nature Conservancy; SPUR
NO: SF Chronicle; SF Bay Guardian; SF Green Party; SF Libertarian Party; SF Republican Party; SEIU Local 1021; Sierra Club
* Local Proposition C: Affordable Housing Requirements.
Until the Board of Supervisors passes an ordinance, developers of 25 or more units would be required to either pay more or build more in the name of affordable housing. On-site requirements would increase from 12% to 25% affordable housing. The off-site alternate option would allow developers to build or pay a fee equal to 33% (up from 20%) of the total units in the project.
YES: SF Examiner; SF Bay Guardian; SF Democratic Party; SF Green Party; State Sen. Mark Leno; Assemblyman Phil Ting; SEIU Local 1021; Sierra Club
