Opposition to Measure L

Update 0

This detailed rationale is provided by the Committee Against Measure L, which is a distinct group from American Canyon Engaged Introduction The “Committee Against Measure L” opposes the initiative because it poses significant environmental, climate, infrastructure and public process risks in American Canyon, while offering limited and uncertain benefit.

It made it to the ballot. We, the people, voted, and voted it down! We beat the developers who spent $220,000 on the failed J campaign. Round 2.
