I’m voting No because I think the GMO allows for plenty of growth. I see no reason to offer the current and future government the power to issue an unlimited number of multi-family building permits in these areas. We currently have more than 600 new housing units planned.

I still remember the water restrictions. We are now suffering rate hikes because we were forced to reduce consumption which was unexpectedly costly for the City consequent to the poor management of our water supply. I can’t consider voting to place the size, nature and character of our town into the hands of a system that can’t figure out how to deliver affordable water.

The power to limit growth belongs with the voters and not the politicians. No on Measure O.
