Measure Q language called unfair

Lawrence Samuels is right on this one. The language in that ballot question (quoted below) is completely wack. Why not just have it say "To avoid the death of all children tomorrow, should we pass this sales tax?"

Monterey County Herald | 09/06/2003 | Measure Q language called unfair

Opponents of a measure to raise the county sales tax say the language that will appear on the Measure Q ballot is unfair.

"It's advocacy, is what it is," said Lawrence Samuels of the Coalition of Taxpayers Against a Sales Tax Increase. "It talks about life-threatening shutdowns and about children. We don't think the ballot question should be so biased."

Samuels said attorneys for the group are considering legal action.

Meanwhile, supporters of the sales tax increase got a major boost this week when the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce issued its support for Measure Q.

...

The following is the question that will appear on the ballot:

"To avoid life-threatening shutdown of significant portions of Natividad Medical Center's health-care delivery system, including services for emergency room, acute inpatient adults and children, primary and specialty care, maintain and improve the system countywide, and allow continued response to critical and urgent medical needs of all County residents, shall Ordinance No. 04192 be approved for the purpose of collecting a one-half percent sales tax throughout the county?"
