Vote No on Proposition A.

There are several good reasons why diverse groups including the San Francisco Republican, Democratic and Green Parties, good government groups San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) and Plan C, business leaders and organizations and labor leader and organizations all urge San Franciscans to Vote No On Proposition A. The majority of opposing organizations and individuals would support Proposition A if it were just about competitive bidding, but it isn't. It is a convoluted, difficult-to-administer scheme that does not guarantee lower rates.

Proposition A puts the Board of Supervisors in charge of the setting the rates and gives the Supervisors the power to amend the ordinance without voter approval. It requires The City, for no good reason, to own the processing and transfer facilities used by the contractors and that the facilities be located in San Francisco. It may be more cost effective to have the processing and transfer facilities outside of San Francisco. Proposition A requires City Hall to administer five separate contracts rather than one. City Hall could potentially have to monitor the performance five separate companies leading to an increase in city bureaucracy or overtime.

NOTE:
For the RCCC, in AD 17 there are 12 candidates for 11 seats, so there will be an election. In AD 19 there are only 14 candidates for 14 seats, so there will be no election (i.e., you won't see their names on the ballot, but we are still listing their names as endorsed by SPOSF.)
