This information explains the reasons why Measure K will not fix your pot holes and local streets.
THERE ISN'T ANY PROFIT IN FIXING POTHOLES
THINK ABOUT IT…THEY WANT THE MONEY TO
ACCOMODATE MORE HOUSES NOT TO FIX POTHOLES WELCOME TO THE SABATINO REPORT October 19, 2006 REPRINT OF September 27, 2006 REPORT THINK ABOUT IT WHY WOULD WE TRUST THE SAME DEVELOPERS WHO TOOK MILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS AND GAVE YOU THE SCANDALS OF VILLAGE ONE, THE LANDFILL, HIGH WATER RATES, HIGH GARBAGE RATES AND NOW WILL TAKE BILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS IF THE MEASURE K TRANSPORTATION TAX PASSES ______________________________________________________ “TRANSPORTATION TAX OF 2002 PROVIDED THE CITY OF MODESTO $11 MILLION PER YEAR. MEASURE K GIVES THE CITY $1.3 MILLION.” Carmen Sabatino, Former Mayor of Modesto ________________________________________________________________________ In 2002 the Mayors of the nine cities, members of the Board of Supervisors, city and county staff, and even the publisher of the Bee, worked on a transportation ballot measure that has been completely ignored. We need to fix transportation but not with Measure K. Demand that the Bee explain the difference between the 2002 tax proposal and what they want you to vote on in November. Why would we trust the same people who gave you the scandals of Village 1, $100 million in uncollected taxpayer money that could have fixed Floyd Ave.? The landfill spent $14 million on property appraised at $10.75 million and can not be sold for $7million today. The water rates are so confusing they are difficult to understand and evaluate. We will have to wait until the city understands them. The garbage rates, by overcharging garbage rate payers $19 million to buy the landfill. They don’t explain where the $5 million difference went. . Spending over a half-million dollars of your tax dollars to prosecute Mayor Carmen Sabatino and according to Mike Zagaris, make him ‘political road-kill”? Why would we trust them with billions of dollars when they have not paid their fair share for the infrastructure they now want to improve? The homeowners of Village 1 do not and will not have the infrastructure they paid for. THINK ABOUT IT…THEY WANT THE MONEY TO ACCOMODATE MORE HOUSES NOT TO FIX POTHOLES.
