Tony Beall, Red County The City of Mission Viejo just
adopted a resolution officially opposing “Measure H” – a ballot
initiative promoted and supported by the public employee unions in
Capistrano Unified School District which would change the way CUSD
school board members are elected in the future. Today voters
in CUSD get 7 votes -- 1 for each of their school board
members. If Measure H passes – voters would lose 6 of their
votes. The resolution was proposed by Mayor Trish Kelley and
was supported by each of the other City Council members, John Paul
Ledesma, Frank Ury, Cathy Schlicht and Dave Leckness. Kudos
to the entire Mission Viejo City Council for taking a public stand
to protect democracy and the peoples’ right to vote for their
elected representatives.
