Even in a City that has so few families with children, voters respond to ballot measures couched in terms of "earthquake safety for our kids." The bond consultants who came in to advise the City Council on how to get the bond measure passed told the City Council not to have public meetings on the bond issue before the measure was placed on the ballot. Presumably because too many questions, damaging to the success of the bond measure, would have been raised.<br /><br />If you are new to Emeryville and care about matters like this, please make sure you are registered to vote, and vote in the upcoming City Council election. For the first time there are two new candidates who are challenging the way business has been done in Emeryville in the past.Michael Webberhttp://www.conditionemeryville.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-10610764171946764502011-10-03T08:31:47.886-07:002011-10-03T08:31:47.886-07:00I've lived in Emeryville for ten years.

Am lucky, I have my very own slum landlord. Is there any middle ground, between a slum landlord and a $300, 000 condo, I can only hope one day there will be.Ms.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939483515938410755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-78580471556349108642011-10-02T23:39:22.295-07:002011-10-02T23:39:22.295-07:00Note to readers-

Is this a Joke?

What is upsetting is that, with the voters passing the Emeryville school/community center bond, it will be on Emeryville residents alone to repay this debt. I find it obserd that Emeryville tax payers are going to have to pay back all of the money when a good number of families using this new school are coming from Oakland. It doesn't make any sense to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
