There are errors in this article, that’s otherwise entertaining. Neither initiatives address the down town area, the restrictions and developments are in Indian Valley (on the road to Canyon), the Rheem ridge area (between St Marys rd and Moraga road) and in Bolhinger Canyon. The dow town is presently under study in the Specific Plan, a town council initiated plan that i not going to be on the ballot. The biggest problem about voting no on both is that it opens the door to the one you dislike most to be the winner, to be able to vote no, you have to be sure that a majority of the residents will do the same. It’s gonna be a tricky election!

Given the huge loopholes and blatant self-interest inherent in each of the two proferred Measures, we’ll be voting NO on both on Election Day.

What a sad, sad reflection of the age we live in. When fear of litigation is the primary factor in determining public policy, that’s no way to run a town. Or any level of government, for that matter.

The unfortunate part is that the town is probably going to get sued by someone anyway, no matter what the voters decide. That’s just what people do these days when money is at stake.

Excellent news. An objective explanation of the two measures, of how either ties into (or doesn’t) with the “Moraga Center Specific Plan,” and educating the voters that voting “NOTA” is a valid option, would be valuable additions to the rather limited but heated discourse so far. Kudos to Mssrs. Walwark, Woehleke, and Reynolds!
