Where We Stand: Our positions on the ballot issues

LWV can support or oppose ballot issues only if our members have established a Program Position directly relevant to the question before the voters. To arrive at such positions, members prioritize a public policy area, study it in depth, and identify the points around which members are in broad agreement. Positions are reconsidered annually and affirmed, revised or dropped.

Ballot Issue 2I - Extension of Community, Culture, Resilience , and Safety Sales and Use Tax
SUPPORT. The LWV Fiscal Structure position supports provision of infrastructure which benefits the community.

Ballot Issue 2J - Issuance of Bonds to be Paid from Extended Community Culture Resilience and Safety Sales and Use Tax
SUPPORT. The LWV Fiscal Structure position supports the economic and efficient distribution of revenue, and the issuance of bonds provides immediate access to funds based on the longer-range revenue from the taxes.

Ballot Question 2K - Council Committees
SUPPORT. The LWV Elected Municipal Offices position includes the support of elected officials operating in open meetings. This allows background material to be collected for the use of council members to reach decisions while defining rules to reduce communications outside public meetings.

Ballot Question 2L - Clarification of Signatures for Petitions
SUPPORT. LWV Principles support measures to enable citizen participation in democratic government processes.

Ballot Question 2M - Council Payment Schedule
