A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TEMECULA OPPOSING INITIATIVE 21-0042A1
WHEREAS, an association representing California's wealthiest corporations and
developers is spending millions to push a deceptive proposition aimed for the November 2024
statewide ballot; and
WHEREAS, the measure includes undemocratic provisions that would make it more
difficult for local voters to pass measures needed to fund local services and infrastructure, and
would limit voter input by prohibiting local advisory measures where voters provide direction on
how they want their local tax dollars spent; and
WHEREAS, the measure creates new constitutional loopholes that allow corporations to
pay far less than their fair share for the impacts they have on our communities, including local
infrastructure and our environment; and
WHEREAS, the measure may make it much more difficult for state and local regulators to
issue fines and levies on corporations that violate laws intended to protect our environment, public
health and safety, and our neighborhoods; and
C WHEREAS, the measure puts billions of dollars currently dedicated to local services at
risk and could force cuts to fire and emergency response, law enforcement, public health, parks,
libraries, affordable housing, services to support homeless residents, mental health services, and
more; and
WHEREAS, the measure negatively and financially impacts public safety, education,
labor, local government, and infrastructure groups throughout the state.
