Here's the full text of Proposal A.

I'm skeptical of Proposal B. It reminds me a lot of when Mike Dugeon, the barber, randomly ran for mayor. Similarly, the opposition to Prop A seems to be supply-siders who enjoy the rate at which gravy currently flows and resent anyone adjusting that spigot.

Developers that are spending over $15M should have a good understanding of the people who live near their development. If requiring that is akin to hamstringing them, how successful was the development going to be?

"Community leaders" is a nice broad term to encompass anybody with the ego and charisma to organize people. It's an organic way of saying "if you're spending our tax dollars, we should have a seat at the table." I think that's pretty reasonable.

It's worth pointing out that the ballot initiative exists because our fair city has dropped the ball so hard and so often. Remember the Marathon refinery? $175M for 15 jobs?

I'd like to see option A pass.
