League of Women Voters supports NO on Prop. E

The League of Women Voters of California has a position, arrived at after member study and consensus, that supports action at all levels of government for the provision of affordable housing for all Californians. The city of Oceanside's Proposition E, to be decided on the June ballot, would allow mobile-home park owners to raise the space rent without limits whenever ownership of a mobile-home changes. Unlimited increases in space rents would have the obvious effect of reducing the number of affordable housing units in Oceanside. Mobile-home parks have historically been a major part of the supply of affordable housing in Oceanside. Also, approximately half of existing mobile-home parks are age restricted for seniors, many on fixed incomes.

Therefore, the League of Women Voters in North County strongly urges a NO vote on ballot Measure E in the June 5 election.

Vote with League on the June Election Ballot Measures

Although the League does not support candidates in any election, we do take positions on ballot measures based on past studies and consensus.

We support Proposition 28, the Legislative Term Limits Reform Act. This simple reform will help make our legislature more accountable and effective. The current limits on how many terms an individual can serve in the legislature would be replaced by a twelve-year limit on the total number of years one could serve--whether in the Assembly, the Senate, or a combination of the two.

We have taken a neutral position on Proposition 29, the California Cancer Research Act. This measure would add a one-dollar per pack tax on cigarettes sold in California, with proceeds to be used for cancer and other smoking-related health issues, anti-smoking campaigns, and law enforcement. While the League supports the causes underwritten by this measure, we believe that earmarking state revenue for specific expenses reduces the flexibility needed by the legislature in setting budgets to respond to current need.
