回复 2楼nicole230的帖子  Silicon Valley Chinese Association’s Official Voting Guide for Bay Area and California Nov. 3, 2020 General Election 硅谷华人协会（SVCA）投票指南 针对2020年11月3日加州大选 本指南网址: https://tinyurl.com/SVCAVotingGuide-202010 投票原则: 1. 打破垄断：近年来加州民主党一党独大，不断制定偏左的各项政策法案，造成犯罪率高升，税收增加，教育退化，政府腐败，大麻泛滥等严重的社会问题。打破一党垄断，避免走向极权政治的最好办法是——注册成为共和党选民，或选举时尽量投共和党的人选； 2. 改善公立教育：加州公立教育的资金总数充裕却质量低下，根本原因是教师工会垄断各级教育部门，成为一大毒瘤，工会热衷推行极端洗脑政策，如男女同厕，过激性教育，左倾政治观念。大家在选各教育部门如学区委员时，请从没有教师工会背书的人选中挑选，才可能减少加州教育的衰败； 3. 避免加税：加州税率最高，各种苛捐杂税不断, 加州政府的资金很充裕，但由于一党独大，监管不严，腐败严重，多项 bond/measure 的近一半资金都用于可有可无的庞大行政开支，成为中饱私囊的重要来源。政府首先应该对开支进行严格监管，再来向民众要钱。如果政府开支不透明，任何巧立名目收税的measure or bond, 基本都是投NO. 4. 避免受骗：很多法案写得表面光鲜亮丽，实则执行时败絮其中。如果选民不确定法案的实质，最简单的办法是No. No 意味着保持现状。当然避免上当的最好办法是以你所信任的投票指南为参考，省时省力又不上当。 5. 考量理念：你手中神圣的一票代表了你的理念，投给与你理念相符的候选人，而不是胜算最大的。 以上原则适用于选民在不确定投票方向时作为参考，并非放之四海而皆准。如果你有不同的意见，最终决定权在你手中。最重要的是，一定要投票！选票就是你的声音，放弃投票等于放弃你的利益。 特别注意: 1.选举法规定选民只可以在初选中写候选人的名字，大选中不可以; 2.如果某Position只准选一个, 但有多个候选人，请根据自己偏好只选一个，否则选票作废。 3.本指南上SVCA背书的候选人属于强烈推荐；CAGOP/SVGOP/BAHN/SVARW背书的属于中度推荐；其他候选人属于建议。请选民自己斟酌。 4. 欢迎全文转载本指南，并请写明日期。 5. 都不喜欢可以不选！ 投票原则: 1 Voting Information 3 Federal Level Positions 3 President of the USA 3 United States House Representative （联邦众议院） 4 State Level Positions 5 State Senator（加州参议院） 5 Member of the State Assembly（加州众议院） 5 State Level Measures 7 California State Level Measures 7 County Level Positions 9 Alameda County Board of Supervisors 9 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 9 Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors 9 San Francisco County Board of Supervisors 9 BART Board of Directors Districts 9 District 1 (Contra Costa County: Concord, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre, Walnut Creek) 9 City and Other Local Positions 10 City of Cupertino 10 Cupertino Union School District 10 Foothill-De Anza College Board 10 City of Mountain View 11 City of Sunnyvale 11 City of San Jose 12 City of Milpitas 12 City of Fremont 12 Fremont Unified School District 13 City of Union City 13 City of Pleasanton 13 City of San Ramon 13 San Ramon Valley Unified School District 14 San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District 14 City of Belmont 14 City of Foster City 14 Town of Atherton 14 Ballot Measures 15 Alameda County Measures 15 Union City Measures 15 Contra Costa County Measures 15 Santa Clara County Measures 15 San Francisco County Measures (SFGOP voting guide) 20 Contributors 22 References 22 Voting Information Oct. 5, 2020 Counties begin mailing vote-by-mail ballots开始邮寄选票的日期 Oct. 19, 2020 Last day to register to vote.

Recommended Reason 14 No It goes to the general bond in the name of education, but there is no transparency or control over how and where the money will be spent. 以教育的名义发行普通债权，但对如何使用、哪里使用募集资金没有透明度和控制机制。 15 No This essentially repeals Prop. 13 for commercial property. It will destroy the local economy. Businesses will either die or flee; jobs lost. Meanwhile, the collected taxes are designed to first fill the huge state budget hole, and then the remainder goes to localities. 40% of the remainder goes to schools. The collected amount cannot fulfill the budget hole if you calculate, then further repealing Prop 13 residential properties is on the edge. It is also a punishment to the hardworking retired residents. 剥夺prop 13对商业地产的保护，增加地产税，重创地区经济，造成商业和公司的关闭或逃离，丢失工作机会。由于重税可以被转嫁到消费上，居民日常消费成本增加。此外，经计算加收商业地产税产生的收入，无法填补加州政府由于现有产业商业逃逸造成亏空，这项法案又将刺激新的产业商业逃逸，所以剥夺prop13对普通居民住宅的保护，增收普通人的地产税将势在必行。 16 No Strong no. Prop.16, aka ACA-5, will overturn Prop. 209 of the Californian Constitution in order to legalize racial discrimination in public education, public employment and government contracting. Prop. 16 will remove equal protection stipulated in our State Constitution: "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting." 强烈反对。《Prop.16种族特权法案》（又称ACA-5）通过后会推翻加州宪法Prop. 209中的修正案，将在公共教育、公共用工和政府承包项目中的种族歧视合法化。 Prop.16通过后将删除州宪法规定的平等保护条款，即，“加州[政府]不得基于种族、性别、肤色、民族或国家籍贯在公共就业、公共教育或公共合同中，歧视或给予任何个人或团体优惠待遇。” 17 No This will allow a convicted felon on parole to vote, before paying their debt to society. It will deny justice to victims. 此法案通过后会允许假释的犯重罪的犯人（felon）在完成其对社会的债务前行使投票权。这即是对受害者的不公。 18 No Prop. 18 will modify the Californian Constitution to lower the voting age to 17 years. Prop. 18 将修改加州宪法，将合法投票年龄降到17岁。 19 No Prop. 19 is a billion-dollar tax increase on families. It takes away one of the best tools parents have to help their children—the right, enshrined in California's Constitution since 1986, to pass their home and other property on without any increase in property taxes. Prop. 19将给家庭增加数十亿美元的税收负担。此法案剥夺自1986年就在加州宪法中载入的家长帮助孩子的最重要手段之一-将自己的住家和其他财产传于后代而无需增加不动产税。 20 Yes It fixes the flaws in Prop. 47 and Prop. 57. Charges serial theft as a felony, instead of misdemeanour for under $950. This will help keep California safe. 这将修补Prop. 47和Prop. 57的漏洞。此法案将不满950美元的连续盗窃以重罪（而非轻罪）起诉。此举将使加州更安全。 21 No This is another attempt at extreme rent control following the defeat of Prop. 10 in 2018. If passed, this time single family and condo homeowners are NOT exempt. Another example of big government. It will reduce affordable housing, and worsen the housing crisis. 此为2018年Prop. 10被击败后又一次试图进行极端租控的法案。此法案通过的话，单体家庭住宅和公寓的业主不会得到[租控]豁免。这是大政府的又一个例证。此法案一旦通过将会减少可负担住宅的[供应]，加剧房市危机。 22 Yes This is in response to California AB5 passed last year, which mandates gig economy companies such as Uber, Lyft and Doordash to classify drivers and dashers as full-time employees, and take away their rights as independent contractors. Another example of government overreach. Prop. 22 protects their rights. Endorsed by the CA Republican Party. 此为对去年通过的加州AB5的回应。AB5要求例如Uber, Lyft和Doordash零工经济企业将零工视为全职员工，从而导致他们作为独立承包商的权利。是政府伸手太长的又一个例证。Prop. 22保护这些零工企业的权利。获得CAGOP的背书。 23 No Increases health care costs. Jeopardizes vulnerable dialysis patients. 增加健康养护成本。损害脆弱的透析病人的利益。 24 No Amends newly enacted CCPA in an attempt to make more businesses comply but adds loopholes for social media giants to continue collecting info. It will increase the state cost at least $10 million per year. 对新颁布的《加州消费者隐私法》的修订。试图使更多企业合规，但为社交媒体巨头网开一面以便他们搜集信息。每年因此增至少一千万美元的州政府开支。 25 No People should continue to pay bail to be released from jail before trial. If prop. 25 passes, it will further reduce the consequences of committing crime and make our community more unsafe. [嫌疑人]在受审之前从监狱释放应当继续要求他们付保释金。如果prop. 25通过，将会减轻犯罪后果，使我们的社区更不安全。 End of State Level 州一级提案结束 County Level Positions Alameda County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D1 David Haubert His opponent is a radical leftist. 其对手是极端左派。 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D2 Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D3 Kansen Chu Endorsed by SVCA.

Since COVID-19 pandemic she is opposing defunding BART police and calling for more aggressive job cuts to stay financially stable. She’s not afraid of being controversial among board members in order to serve her constituents.Endorsed by BART POA, Steve Glazer, and mayors of cities in her district. 她是预算控制问题上的鹰派。其头等大事是“对纳税人的钱承担财政责任”。她在BART董事会上勇敢地提出理智的声音-她通过支持BART警察一直专注于乘客安全，并倡导财务透明度、问责制和对BART预算的监督。自从COVID-19大流行以来，她一直反对减少对BART警察的拨款（defund），并呼吁更积极地裁员以保持财务稳定。她不惧怕在董事会成员中为自己的选民服务而引起争议。BART POA-史蒂夫·格拉泽（Steve Glazer）和她所在区的市长均背书她。 City and Other Local Positions City of Cupertino Position Recommended Candidates Reason City Council Steven Scharf Residents first.

Recommended Reason WW No XX No Contra Costa County Measures Measure. Recommended Reason X No No on raising tax. There is no control over how and where it will be eventually spent. Also, the language on the ballot is apparently wrong. The sales tax levied is ½ percent, not ½ “cent.” For this misleading reason alone, we should reject it. 不能再加税了。对这笔钱如何化、哪里化没有任何控制。且选票中的用语显然错误。是销售税征收百分之1/2，而不是一分钱的1/2。因为这误导性的语言，我们应当投反对票。 Santa Clara County Measures (listed in alphabet order) Measure. Recommended Reason A - Town of Los Gatos - Finance Commission Ordinance - Majority Vote 将现在两个部门 Finance Committee和Sales Tax Oversight Committee(负责监督财务透明) 合并为一个部门。 Shall the measure proposing an ordinance replacing the Town's current Finance Committee and Sales Tax Oversight Committee with a Finance Commission that would advise the Town Council on financial, budgetary and investment matters, including but not limited to, the Annual Budget, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, capital expenditures, sales tax revenue and expenditures, and other recommendations as the Town Council directs, be adopted? B - Town of Los Gatos - Term Limit Ordinance - Majority Vote 该公投要求，限制市议员连续任期最多8年。8年期满需间隔4年以上才能再次参选。 Shall the measure proposing a term limit ordinance to require that after serving two (2) four (4) year terms, a Town Council Member is not eligible to run for the Town Council or to be appointed to a vacancy unless a period of four years has elapsed since their last service on Town Council, be adopted? C Yes City of Mountain View - Ordinance Amendment - Majority Vote 禁止超大型车辆停在40英尺宽度以下的街道上。 Shall City of Mountain View Ordinance No.15.19, which prohibits parking of oversized vehicles (such as recreational vehicles, boats and large trucks) except wheelchair-accessible vans with valid disabled placard and those exempted for short duration activities (such as loading and unloading, and emergency vehicles) on narrow streets 40 feet or less in width, be adopted? D No City of Mountain View - Charter Amendment - Majority Vote 租控条例，最终伤害消费者。 Shall the City Charter be amended to: limit rent increase protections under the Community Stabilization and Fair Rent Act (CSFRA) to households earning 100% of median income or less; limit annual fees to $100 per unit; prohibit paying Rental Housing Committee members; suspend the CSFRA when vacancy rates equal or exceed 3% and enact programs during suspension, including a rental registry, annual landlord fee, and nonbinding mediation for rent increases over 7% and other disputes? E Yes/No City of Santa Clara - Transient Occupancy Tax - Majority Vote 增加宾馆税率到4%，即年收入增加7M，用于警务、交通、社区服务等。支持的理由是，外来的消费承担这部分税务，为本地增加收入。反对的理由是，加税抑制地方商业吸引力、并且增加本地公司用于消费的成本。 To maintain and protect the level of essential city services including 9-1-1 emergency medical/disaster preparedness, police and fire protection, bicycle and pedestrian safety, roadways and storm drains, and other vital services including parks, recreation, libraries and senior services, shall a measure increasing the hotel tax rate up to 4%, generating up to approximately 7 million dollars annually, paid only by hotel/motel guests, until ended by voters, be adopted? F No City of Milpitas - Use Tax - Majority Vote 消费税增加1/4¢，产生$6,500,000/年，8年限。加税抑制消费和商业，恶性循环，对本地经济是伤害。 City of Milpitas Public Services Measure. To provide funding to maintain the City’s finances and services, including: police and fire protection, 9-1-1 emergency response, and natural disaster preparation; youth, senior, and recreation services; repairing park equipment and maintaining parks and recreation centers; and attracting and retaining location businesses; shall the measure, establishing a1/4¢ sales tax, providing approximately $6,500,000 annually for 8 years, requiring independent audits, citizens’ oversight committee, all funds spent locally, be adopted? G No City of San Jose - Charter Amendment - Majority Vote 限制警察的执法能力，会造成警察执法的被动性、纵容犯罪，对居民的生命财产安全产生威胁。 Shall the City Charter be amended to: expand the Independent Police Auditor’s oversight, including review of officer-involved shootings and use of force incidents causing death or great bodily injury, review of department-initiated investigations against officers, and other technical amendments; increase the Planning Commission to 11 members with Council appointing one member from each Council District and one “at-large” member; and allow the Council to establish timelines for redistricting when Census results are late? H Yes/No City of San Jose - Card Room Tax - Majority Vote 增加娱乐类赌博产业的税率，城市年收入增加$15M。原则上，政府应该节俭和优化开支，不应该象无底洞一样无休止的向纳税人要钱。但是，鉴于赌博业既非本地支柱产业，不是被鼓励的产业，增加税收可以贴补城市建设和管理。 To fund general San José services, including fire protection, disaster preparedness, 911 emergency response, street repair, youth programs, addressing homelessness, and supporting vulnerable residents, shall an ordinance be adopted increasing the cardroom tax rate from 15% to 16.5%, applying the tax to third party providers at these rates: up to $25,000,000 at 5%; $25,000,001 to $30,000,000 at 7.5%; and over $30,000,000 at 10%, increasing card tables by 30, generating approximately $15,000,000 annually, until repealed? I No San Jose-Evergreen Community College District - Parcel Tax - 2/3 Vote每户每年增收$18 per parcel tax, 9年期满。 社区大学学区增加$4,500,000/年的收入。政府需要谨慎开支，不能象无底洞一样，总在向纳税人要钱。 SAN JOSE-EVERGREEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT JOB TRAINING, STUDENT SUPPORT AND AFFORDABILITY MEASURE. To provide locally controlled funding for community colleges to attract and retain quality faculty; provide assistance with food, housing, fees, books, transportation, and internet access so students can complete their degrees; prepare students for transfer to UC and CSU schools, and career and job training, shall San Jose- Evergreen Community College District’s measure levying $18 per parcel for 9 years ($4,500,000 annually), be adopted, with citizens’ oversight, and all funds used locally?

 Silicon Valley Chinese Association’s Official Voting Guide for Bay Area and California Nov. 3, 2020 General Election 硅谷华人协会（SVCA）投票指南 针对2020年11月3日加州大选 本指南网址: https://tinyurl.com/SVCAVotingGuide-202010 投票原则: 1. 打破垄断：近年来加州民主党一党独大，不断制定偏左的各项政策法案，造成犯罪率高升，税收增加，教育退化，政府腐败，大麻泛滥等严重的社会问题。打破一党垄断，避免走向极权政治的最好办法是——注册成为共和党选民，或选举时尽量投共和党的人选； 2. 改善公立教育：加州公立教育的资金总数充裕却质量低下，根本原因是教师工会垄断各级教育部门，成为一大毒瘤，工会热衷推行极端洗脑政策，如男女同厕，过激性教育，左倾政治观念。大家在选各教育部门如学区委员时，请从没有教师工会背书的人选中挑选，才可能减少加州教育的衰败； 3. 避免加税：加州税率最高，各种苛捐杂税不断, 加州政府的资金很充裕，但由于一党独大，监管不严，腐败严重，多项 bond/measure 的近一半资金都用于可有可无的庞大行政开支，成为中饱私囊的重要来源。政府首先应该对开支进行严格监管，再来向民众要钱。如果政府开支不透明，任何巧立名目收税的measure or bond, 基本都是投NO. 4. 避免受骗：很多法案写得表面光鲜亮丽，实则执行时败絮其中。如果选民不确定法案的实质，最简单的办法是No. No 意味着保持现状。当然避免上当的最好办法是以你所信任的投票指南为参考，省时省力又不上当。 5. 考量理念：你手中神圣的一票代表了你的理念，投给与你理念相符的候选人，而不是胜算最大的。 以上原则适用于选民在不确定投票方向时作为参考，并非放之四海而皆准。如果你有不同的意见，最终决定权在你手中。最重要的是，一定要投票！选票就是你的声音，放弃投票等于放弃你的利益。 特别注意: 1.选举法规定选民只可以在初选中写候选人的名字，大选中不可以; 2.如果某Position只准选一个, 但有多个候选人，请根据自己偏好只选一个，否则选票作废。 3.本指南上SVCA背书的候选人属于强烈推荐；CAGOP/SVGOP/BAHN/SVARW背书的属于中度推荐；其他候选人属于建议。请选民自己斟酌。 4. 欢迎全文转载本指南，并请写明日期。 5. 都不喜欢可以不选！ 投票原则: 1 Voting Information 3 Federal Level Positions 3 President of the USA 3 United States House Representative （联邦众议院） 4 State Level Positions 5 State Senator（加州参议院） 5 Member of the State Assembly（加州众议院） 5 State Level Measures 7 California State Level Measures 7 County Level Positions 9 Alameda County Board of Supervisors 9 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 9 Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors 9 San Francisco County Board of Supervisors 9 BART Board of Directors Districts 9 District 1 (Contra Costa County: Concord, Lafayette, Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre, Walnut Creek) 9 City and Other Local Positions 10 City of Cupertino 10 Cupertino Union School District 10 Foothill-De Anza College Board 10 City of Mountain View 11 City of Sunnyvale 11 City of San Jose 12 City of Milpitas 12 City of Fremont 12 Fremont Unified School District 13 City of Union City 13 City of Pleasanton 13 City of San Ramon 13 San Ramon Valley Unified School District 14 San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District 14 City of Belmont 14 City of Foster City 14 Town of Atherton 14 Ballot Measures 15 Alameda County Measures 15 Union City Measures 15 Contra Costa County Measures 15 Santa Clara County Measures 15 San Francisco County Measures (SFGOP voting guide) 20 Contributors 22 References 22 Voting Information Oct. 5, 2020 Counties begin mailing vote-by-mail ballots开始邮寄选票的日期 Oct. 19, 2020 Last day to register to vote.

Recommended Reason 14 No It goes to the general bond in the name of education, but there is no transparency or control over how and where the money will be spent. 以教育的名义发行普通债权，但对如何使用、哪里使用募集资金没有透明度和控制机制。 15 No This essentially repeals Prop. 13 for commercial property. It will destroy the local economy. Businesses will either die or flee; jobs lost. Meanwhile, the collected taxes are designed to first fill the huge state budget hole, and then the remainder goes to localities. 40% of the remainder goes to schools. The collected amount cannot fulfill the budget hole if you calculate, then further repealing Prop 13 residential properties is on the edge. It is also a punishment to the hardworking retired residents. 剥夺prop 13对商业地产的保护，增加地产税，重创地区经济，造成商业和公司的关闭或逃离，丢失工作机会。由于重税可以被转嫁到消费上，居民日常消费成本增加。此外，经计算加收商业地产税产生的收入，无法填补加州政府由于现有产业商业逃逸造成亏空，这项法案又将刺激新的产业商业逃逸，所以剥夺prop13对普通居民住宅的保护，增收普通人的地产税将势在必行。 16 No Strong no. Prop.16, aka ACA-5, will overturn Prop. 209 of the Californian Constitution in order to legalize racial discrimination in public education, public employment and government contracting. Prop. 16 will remove equal protection stipulated in our State Constitution: "The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting." 强烈反对。《Prop.16种族特权法案》（又称ACA-5）通过后会推翻加州宪法Prop. 209中的修正案，将在公共教育、公共用工和政府承包项目中的种族歧视合法化。 Prop.16通过后将删除州宪法规定的平等保护条款，即，“加州[政府]不得基于种族、性别、肤色、民族或国家籍贯在公共就业、公共教育或公共合同中，歧视或给予任何个人或团体优惠待遇。” 17 No This will allow a convicted felon on parole to vote, before paying their debt to society. It will deny justice to victims. 此法案通过后会允许假释的犯重罪的犯人（felon）在完成其对社会的债务前行使投票权。这即是对受害者的不公。 18 No Prop. 18 will modify the Californian Constitution to lower the voting age to 17 years. Prop. 18 将修改加州宪法，将合法投票年龄降到17岁。 19 No Prop. 19 is a billion-dollar tax increase on families. It takes away one of the best tools parents have to help their children—the right, enshrined in California's Constitution since 1986, to pass their home and other property on without any increase in property taxes. Prop. 19将给家庭增加数十亿美元的税收负担。此法案剥夺自1986年就在加州宪法中载入的家长帮助孩子的最重要手段之一-将自己的住家和其他财产传于后代而无需增加不动产税。 20 Yes It fixes the flaws in Prop. 47 and Prop. 57. Charges serial theft as a felony, instead of misdemeanour for under $950. This will help keep California safe. 这将修补Prop. 47和Prop. 57的漏洞。此法案将不满950美元的连续盗窃以重罪（而非轻罪）起诉。此举将使加州更安全。 21 No This is another attempt at extreme rent control following the defeat of Prop. 10 in 2018. If passed, this time single family and condo homeowners are NOT exempt. Another example of big government. It will reduce affordable housing, and worsen the housing crisis. 此为2018年Prop. 10被击败后又一次试图进行极端租控的法案。此法案通过的话，单体家庭住宅和公寓的业主不会得到[租控]豁免。这是大政府的又一个例证。此法案一旦通过将会减少可负担住宅的[供应]，加剧房市危机。 22 Yes This is in response to California AB5 passed last year, which mandates gig economy companies such as Uber, Lyft and Doordash to classify drivers and dashers as full-time employees, and take away their rights as independent contractors. Another example of government overreach. Prop. 22 protects their rights. Endorsed by the CA Republican Party. 此为对去年通过的加州AB5的回应。AB5要求例如Uber, Lyft和Doordash零工经济企业将零工视为全职员工，从而导致他们作为独立承包商的权利。是政府伸手太长的又一个例证。Prop. 22保护这些零工企业的权利。获得CAGOP的背书。 23 No Increases health care costs. Jeopardizes vulnerable dialysis patients. 增加健康养护成本。损害脆弱的透析病人的利益。 24 No Amends newly enacted CCPA in an attempt to make more businesses comply but adds loopholes for social media giants to continue collecting info. It will increase the state cost at least $10 million per year. 对新颁布的《加州消费者隐私法》的修订。试图使更多企业合规，但为社交媒体巨头网开一面以便他们搜集信息。每年因此增至少一千万美元的州政府开支。 25 No People should continue to pay bail to be released from jail before trial. If prop. 25 passes, it will further reduce the consequences of committing crime and make our community more unsafe. [嫌疑人]在受审之前从监狱释放应当继续要求他们付保释金。如果prop. 25通过，将会减轻犯罪后果，使我们的社区更不安全。 End of State Level 州一级提案结束 County Level Positions Alameda County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D1 David Haubert His opponent is a radical leftist. 其对手是极端左派。 Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D2 Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors Position Recommended Candidates Reasons D3 Kansen Chu Endorsed by SVCA.

No on 16.

Since COVID-19 pandemic she is opposing defunding BART police and calling for more aggressive job cuts to stay financially stable. She’s not afraid of being controversial among board members in order to serve her constituents.Endorsed by BART POA, Steve Glazer, and mayors of cities in her district. 她是预算控制问题上的鹰派。其头等大事是“对纳税人的钱承担财政责任”。她在BART董事会上勇敢地提出理智的声音-她通过支持BART警察一直专注于乘客安全，并倡导财务透明度、问责制和对BART预算的监督。自从COVID-19大流行以来，她一直反对减少对BART警察的拨款（defund），并呼吁更积极地裁员以保持财务稳定。她不惧怕在董事会成员中为自己的选民服务而引起争议。BART POA-史蒂夫·格拉泽（Steve Glazer）和她所在区的市长均背书她。 City and Other Local Positions City of Cupertino Position Recommended Candidates Reason City Council Steven Scharf Residents first.

Recommended Reason WW No XX No Contra Costa County Measures Measure. Recommended Reason X No No on raising tax. There is no control over how and where it will be eventually spent. Also, the language on the ballot is apparently wrong. The sales tax levied is ½ percent, not ½ “cent.” For this misleading reason alone, we should reject it. 不能再加税了。对这笔钱如何化、哪里化没有任何控制。且选票中的用语显然错误。是销售税征收百分之1/2，而不是一分钱的1/2。因为这误导性的语言，我们应当投反对票。 Santa Clara County Measures (listed in alphabet order) Measure. Recommended Reason A - Town of Los Gatos - Finance Commission Ordinance - Majority Vote 将现在两个部门 Finance Committee和Sales Tax Oversight Committee(负责监督财务透明) 合并为一个部门。 Shall the measure proposing an ordinance replacing the Town's current Finance Committee and Sales Tax Oversight Committee with a Finance Commission that would advise the Town Council on financial, budgetary and investment matters, including but not limited to, the Annual Budget, the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, capital expenditures, sales tax revenue and expenditures, and other recommendations as the Town Council directs, be adopted?

之前市长提出增加地税，这样学校可以多拿一点钱，被驳回。很多校舍都是七八十年，漏水还有霉。不加税，就是学生在有害的教室继续上课....
抗拒加税也要分情况吧，人不能太自私啊。
自己多做一些研究吧。看川粉贴的指南不觉得侮辱自己的智商？
校区预算应该80%都用于支付薪资福利了。现在基本上所有的大中小学都是deferred maintenance, 除非快塌了，才会修。
主要隔壁 school district 学校都新，每次上新闻一对比，就觉得，擦.... 每年多交几顿外出吃饭的钱，能修个不害人的学校，我觉得可以接受。不过没通过。
我们这以前一开始1个多billion 的bonds, 最后减到750 million, 过了之后，每个学校都开始轰轰烈烈重建教室，操场等等。时不时更新工程进度的。
州府应该合理分配税收，而不是一边不停的收，另一边不断的砍预算。我记得加州州立和加大的预算在08年砍了后，一直没有补上。州长还提议继续削减预算，同时加州的孩子上加大非常难。Sorry， 我不会投加税的提案。
你要觉得取消种族平等之后优待能优待到华人头上，就填yes；你要觉得取消种族平等之后优待会优待到别的族裔头上，就填no。
不了解加州，我这里是 county 本来打算 increase property tax，用途也很清楚，就是修新的学校。这个我觉得可以接受。
如果你们那里是钱交上去就不知道去向了，那确实要抵制。
