Tomorrow night, Tuesday the 28th at 5:30 pm, Councilmember Katie Melendez has orchestrated a takeover of Vista’s seat on the San Diego Association of Governments or SANDAG, because she supports the 5 cent per-mile driving tax, and I oppose it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

She opposes new highway infrastructure, like the Carpool lanes on Highway 78 that we’ve paid for since 1980. She’s said she won’t approve a single mile of new lanes for cars, and has even called for the elimination of the “Single Occupancy Vehicle.”<\/p>\n

You can’t make this stuff up. Take a look at the video, which includes quotes from Melendez supporting the “Road User Charge,” opposing, “widening 78,” and calling for the elimination of YOUR car!<\/p>\n

At tomorrow’s Council meeting, Melendez might succeed in removing me from SANDAG. It’s urgent you take action, now.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Email your councilmember today, tell them to send the Mayor to SANDAG and to oppose the “mileage-tax.”<\/p>\n

Take the Survey:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should Mayor Franklin be Vista\u2019s SANDAG Representative because he opposes the 5 cent per-mile driving tax, and because he supports our highway infrastructure, or should Councilmember Melendez represent Vista because she supports the driving tax and opposes new highway infrastructure?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
