Arguments For Measure Q | Arguments Against Measure Q |
Let's maintain our local services and facilities in Half Moon Bay --- Vote Yes on Measure Q
Each year Half Moon Bay considers way to balance our city budget and operate more effectively without negatively impacting city services or reducing emergency reserves. Despite these efforts, detailed budget projections clearly show on-going deficits. After carefully reviewing all options, it was decided that Measure Q would be the best way to address this problem and Half Moon Bay residents won't have to pay a penny.
Yes on Measure Q is the most prudent way for our community to maintain key and vital city services without costing residents. Please join your neighbors, community leaders, business owners, and the entire Half Moon Bay City Council in voting Yes on Measure Q. Vote YES on Measure Q /s/ Bonnie McClung, Mayor of Half Moon Bay /s/ Beverly Ashcraft, Businesswoman /s/ Victor Tigerman, Senior Coastide Board Member /s/ John Sanchez, Sergeant, Half Moon Bay Police Department /s/ Naomi Patridge, Council Member

We're in a recession. Now is NOT the time for a tax increase!
A tax increase now in insane. VOTE NO ON MEASURE Q /s/ D.F. Pettengill, Treasurer, Coastside Citizens for Good Government
