Throughout my battles with the City on Measure Y, I occasionally got offers to help financially. Fortunately, I was able to support my efforts with my own resources. But now I am asking for your help. As you know, I am now part of Oaklanders Against The Parcel Tax. The proponents of this new irresponsible tax are well funded. Of course, they have the support of the majority of the Council, the Mayor, and most of the unions. But our effort is truly grassroots and we need all the help we can get. Please help support fiscal responsibility and help us defeat Measure I by sending your contributions to:
Oaklanders Against The Parcel Tax

or oaklanderagainsttax@gmail.com to join our mailing list, and find out how you can donate or volunteer!

I've been trying to volunteer since the No On Measure I website went up and have yet to receive a response from anyone. You might find that you have more success both with volunteers (and donations) if someone would actually take the trouble to respond to those who have offered to volunteer their time and money.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - that's so much for your support. You can reach our campaign at Oaklanders Against The Parcel Tax at 360 22nd Street, #240, Oakland CA 94612 or by email oaklanderagainsttax@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIf for any reason you have trouble with that email address you can contact me at MarleenLee@att.net. Hope to hear from you!

Check your property tax bill. As of today, it includes a double billing for Measure Y and BB. They City is actually back billing for the period when they could not collect Measure Y funds. How is this legal?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, they can do it, because of Measure BB. They included a provision in Measure BB that allowed them to double bill for 2011. I warned people not to vote for BB, but not enough people voted against it, so now we're stuck paying for the tax and having a miniscule police force at the same time. And to add insult to injury, City officials didn't let Batts do his job and now he's leaving in frustration. Who could blame him.
