Measure L

I'll be out with Charlotte Schamadan and her gang in Library Park Friday evening, March 2nd, talking about the benefits of Measure L.

"As Campaign Chair I am asked lots of questions about Measure L. What does it cost and what will we get for our money? How big will it be? Will we have more computers? Will we get more of our books back on the shelves? It's important that all questions are answered politely, honestly with a vision of what will be," Schamadan writes in her latest column. She says many residents are concerned about the trees. "The trees, I happily tell the inquisitive, will remain intact when the new Library is built."

According to city officials, the March 6 election will determine the passage of this measure, which would place a $62 per year parcel tax on each residential property for 30 years. This would finance a library twice the size of the city's current 14,000 square foot building, which for many years has not been large enough to house their entire collection.
