| Chamber Board Votes No on Proposition 16 |
The Board of Directors voted at its regular meeting on May 18, 2010 to take a NO vote on Proposition 16, the New Two Thirds Requirements for Local Public Electricity Provider Act. The Board of Directors and the Government Affairs Committee concluded that the existing law requiring a simple majority of the voters in the area for expansion of electric service should stay in effect. |

| Chamber Board Supports Measure A |
The Vallejo Chamber Board of Directors voted to Support Measure A at their April Board Meeting. After surveying our 500 members, the majority of responses returned were in favor of the removal of binding arbitration from the City Charter. The Chamber Board feels a yes vote on Measure A is critical to the financial health of the City of Vallejo. As Vallejo exits bankruptcy, it is imperative we look to new ways of doing business as we move forward to long term financial stability. |
