Last Chance to Save Prop 46
Programs Next Week
The legislative leadership is trying
to complete a deal on the infrastructure bond packages for the November ballot
by the end of next week. It appears that the Republicans continue to be
opposed to including the extension of the key Prop. 46 programs. There have
been reports that many of them do not really understand how the programs work.
We have created a new one page fact
sheet that clarifies that the programs are bricks and mortar programs, not
grants for rent subsidies or other giveaway type programs. The fact sheet also
emphasizes the economic benefits of affordable housing development in the
County derived from the Prop. 46 awards to date.
The fact sheet can be downloaded at:

Please contact your local elected officials, business partners and encourage
them to contact the delegation both here and in Sacramento. The contact
info is at: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/politics/contact.html.
