What is Measure M?

California cities are either general law cities which are governed by state laws or charter cities which are governed by city charters. The Mayor of Sacramento has been trying to force a non-elected charter commission down our throat in order to push his agenda by appointing “his” people to the commission. The city council decided to give people a choice of whether they would like to have an elected commission. That is what people will be voting for when they vote on Measure M. There is also a list of 54 candidates for the City of Sacramento Charter Commission. C. T. Weber is number 18 on that list. This will be on the November 6, 2012 general election ballot.

Statement: Charter reform can decentralize and democratize our city government. With a forward looking commission, we can directly elect all city commissioners, city council members, neighborhood councils, police review board, etc by proportional representation. We can let local residents, not wealthy developers, decide what is best for Sacramento and our communities. Strengthen neighborhood power. Keep the City Council’s balance on the Mayor’s power.
