They are comparing apples and oranges. SF City and County = 130 commissions. LA City and County = 199 commissions! Don’t be fooled.
They Say…
Prop D has a better public process
The Truth…
Not only does Prop E have citizens on their task force like Prop D, Prop E puts the task force recommendations to a public vote. Prop D has NO public vote!
They Say…
Prop D is quicker and Prop E is slower
The Truth…
Prop D and Prop E deadlines are nearly identical – new commission system by 2026.
They Say…
Prop D will cut government costs
The Truth…
Prop D requires NO cost benefit analysis. It could dramatically increase costs.
They Say…
Prop E is a Peskin poison pill
The Truth…
Prop E is a clear alternative. It’s a democratic choice, not a poison pill.
They Say…
We need Prop D because the Mayor needs more power
The Truth…
Prop D eliminates almost every check and balance in our Charter and gives the Mayor unchecked power. This will make government ripe for abuse and corruption.
