Urge Your City Council To Stop Both Ballot Measures Tonight!

Long Beach City Council Meeting

5:00pm

333 West Ocean Blvd.

City Council Chambers

At a time when our city is struggling to find extra money in the budget to hire more needed police officers and make log-overdue improvements to our city's infrastructure, how can our City Council consider spending over a half million dollars to put two unnecessary ordinances, "anti-big box" and "labor peace" on the ballot in February 2008?

These two ordinances interfere with the economics of free enterprise, and the freedom of the consumer to purchase and the freedom of the worker to choose.
 

The City Council may rescind the "labor peace" ordinance at night's city council meeting. By rescinding one and not the other the city saves only $20,000.

Now we need to urge them to rescind the "anti-big box"  ordinance too!

Rescinding both of the ordinances will save the city $510,000 which they would pay to the county for adding these two ordinances to the February 5, 2008 ballot.

We do not need to have our city involved with contentious ballot issues that will divide our community!
