The election results are in and several things are now very clear: 1. The development community is very threatened by our passion and tenacity to fight for our beloved quality of life in El Dorado County. Why else would they spend $1 million to confuse and mislead voters? 2. We have awakened the community and educated many voters during this battle. Those efforts are to be celebrated and furthered. Remember, we have 2 more initiatives (yellow and purple) that will be on the next statewide ballot. That gives us about a year to regroup, re-energize, and build upon our alliances throughout the county. We are a force to be reckoned with and our mission is clear: Preserve the quality of life in El Dorado County. Here are the Measure O results: County Measure O (majority to pass) YES 14701 33.20% NO 29574 66.80% Complete results from El Dorado County are available here: http://www.edcgov.us/elections/election/099/099.pdf Please join us to celebrate and take a breather to re-energize for what is ahead of us: Potluck dinner at the Parlin residence in Shingle Springs (email info@ShingleSpringsCommunityAlliance.com for directions) Saturday, Nov 8, 5:00-7:00pm Followed by live music (and probably some dancing) at the Shingle Springs Community Center 7:00-9:00pm, $10 per person at the door. Remember, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Please stay involved to help with the fight. |
