Proposition B – District Elections in Chula Vista, the Arguments in Favor and Against
Northwest Civic Association’s next Community Meeting will be in the auditorium of the Chula Vista Civic Center Library (at 4th & F), Thursday, October 11 at 6:00 p.m. The topic will be ‘Proposition B – District Elections in Chula Vista’.
Councilmember Rudy Ramirez will discuss the Arguments in Favor and Mayor Cheryl Cox will discuss the Arguments Against the ballot measure. Currently, all Council members are elected “at large” – voted on by all citizens. The proposition on the ballot is to change the form of elections to “district” elections, whereby the city would be divided up geographically into smaller voting districts and that a council member would have to live in each district. The event is free. Everyone is welcome. Come listen to the arguments for and against ‘Proposition B’. For further information, please call 619-307-3460. www.northwestchulavista.org.
