The rest of your ballot

Well, people certainly have strong opinions about Measure D. Honestly, I don’t get it. If you’re seriously concerned about Oakland being better run, or government spending being less wasteful, there are like 10 million things you could spend your time on that would be more helpful. Voting no and screwing Oakland out of $3.6 million isn’t going to help you or anyone else, and it won’t force the Council to be more efficient or put a repeal on the ballot, it will just force them to cut what little you have left in the way of City services.
Saving Oakland’s car dealerships. Maybe.
