ACTION in Santa Monica

FYI If you are a property owner in Santa Monica you have a friend in this group.
For many years they have been at the forefront of the effort to protect property owners in Santa Monica from a overzealous city regulatory pogrom and heavy handed enforcement of the rules on the books.

To check their public web site go to

They have regular meetings. I attended the one last night (Monday 3-3-08)
and listened to some very interesting speakers.

One reviewed for us the political efforts that are aligned to fix the problems of cities taking private property using eminent domain. He was from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and passed out some of their newsletters... "Taxing Times" The hot topic is the differences between two measures that will be on the ballot.
- Prop 98 - good
- Prop 99 - bad

If we want to truly protect property rights and owners from the cities and developers We need to vote Yes on Prop 98. If 99 passes it would keep the same low level of protections and even remove the extra protections of Prop 98 if it gets more votes.

Prop 99 was put on the ballot as a spoiler.

There are good things worth fighting for. Property rights is one.

I welcome your feedback.
