| City of Huntington Park's Measure "L" Safety Enhancement Measure Wins Evidently On A Campaign of Half Truths and Deceit by City Council Members November 3, 2004 By WatchOurCity.com Huntington Park, CA - Measure "L" has reportedly garnered a majority of votes during yesterday's general elections. According to L.A. County's Registrar Recorder/County Clerk Election Results (click here for link), the YES votes totaled 4,822 (68.85%); the NO votes were 2,182 (31.15%). According to State law, the measure needed a 2/3 majority vote or 66%. Measure "L" will raise property taxes by an additional $750,000. Yard signs and campaign mailers flatly stated that the measure will "Lower Taxes". Properties with one single family home will see a $10 reduction in taxes. Apartment owners will see a considerable increase in property taxes, the cost of which most likely will be passed on to the city's low income renters. The apartment association, whose representative was appointed as a city planning commissioner, evidently did not oppose the measure. Graphics Credit; L.A.

Lynwood's city attorney, Arnoldo Beltran, was a former law partner of Francisco Leal. Copyright © 2004, WatchOurCity.com, All rights reserved |
