Measure A
Editor: What shall we make of the voters’ rejection of Measure A by a 63-37 margin? Does that mean Sonoma County voters don’t care much about the poor condition of county roads? I don’t think so. Bad roads are a common and highly visible problem. I think a big block of voters rejected the apparent duplicity of the County Supervisors. They wrote one thing “Measure A will be a general tax to be applied to a multitude of services.” But they said another “Measure A tax money will be devoted only to repairing the roads.” Both could not be true. It is true that the roads need repair, and most county residents know that. Next election, the supervisors would do better by playing it straight with the voters.
