PROTECT OUR SENIORS!

JOIN ME, BERNARD C. PARKS, IN VOTING NO ON PROP. 98 & YES ON PROP. 99

PROP. 98 IS A DECEPTIVE INITIATIVE….DON’T BE FOOLED

I am supporting Proposition 99 and I am asking my supporters to vote No on Proposition 98. Here’s why:

In 2006, California voters rejected a ballot measure (Proposition 90) which would have significantly restricted the government’s power to take private property and would have also repealed rent control. Now the opponents of reasonable eminent domain regulation and rent control are back with Proposition 98. According to the Los Angeles Times, Proposition 98 crosses into the territory rejected by voters in 2006. It could open the door to lawsuits whenever a government agency zones in such a way that it raises the value of some properties and reduces the potential for others. That could jeopardize efforts to create open space or protect water quality. Proposition 98 will:

· Eliminate renter protections and rent control, putting our seniors and others in need at risk;

· Eliminate important environmental protection laws we need to combat global warming, and protect our land, air, water and coasts;

· Hurt our students by making it more difficult to relieve classroom overcrowding;

· Threaten our water supply by hindering long-range planning;

· Threaten California's businesses;

· Threaten California's public safety by making harder for law enforcement to address public safety issues; and,

· Hurt mobile home owners in many of the County’s mobile home parks.

Again, I urge you to vote NO on Prop. 98 and YES on Prop. 99.
