Expect to greet paid political canvassers at your door in the coming weeks. The Florida developer who paid signature gatherers seventy thousand dollars [1] to lie cheat and steal your signatures in now hiring them back to go door to door and badger you [2] once more. This time to vote away your right to vote on a Quarry project. These corporate antics are getting way out of hand.

Measure L [3] is an initiative to re-zone the Quarry for housing before a project is designed [4], meaning if you vote for Measure L you are voting away the community's right to influence the final design. By voting No on L you retain the community's right to have a voice. Please vote No on L, lets keep our right to vote in the future.
