When Berkeley voters are asked to pay extra taxes, it should be for a pressing, high-priority need. Voters should be informed of what exactly they are funding and be confident that funds will be spent as promised. With these principles in mind, we crafted Measure EE to fix our streets, sidewalks, pathways and bicycle boulevards. Berkeleyside accepts submission of op-eds relating to election candidates and measures and publishes a balance of opinions at its discretion.
