Dear Friends:
WE DID IT! After five months, we collected 138,000 signatures from San Diego voters to qualify the “Competition and Transparency in City Contracting” Initiative for the November 2010 city election.
To help fix San Diego’s financial problems and to jumpstart its economy, the ballot measure requires the city use “competitive bidding” on all city services and projects – and explicitly prohibits any “anti-competitive” city rules that would favor labor unions in contract decisions.
By mandating regular competition for city services and ensuring fair employment rules for all projects in the City of San Diego, this measure will save taxpayers millions each year and make our city attractive once again to private investment that creates local jobs.
Even though this ballot measure is only focused on the City of San Diego, it is already sending shockwaves across the nation – and is being followed by the labor unions, business groups, taxpayer associations, and media outlets (Wall Street Journal, Fox News, Los Angeles Times, etc.)
That’s why I am writing you – I need your help!
We need to win this campaign – not only to help the City of San Diego, but to advance this model of reform across the state and nation for protecting taxpayers and employers from the excessive demands of organized labor.
Please join us on Wednesday, June 30th for this important fundraiser.
If you cannot make the event, please consider making a donation immediately online: https://www.completecampaigns.com/FR/contribute.asp?campaignid=SDCAG
Thank you for your help! Together we will make change happen in San Diego!
