Nov. 2022 Election: Yes on San Diego Measure B — Amending the People's Ordinance [Opinion]

The city’s general fund is bearing millions of dollars in cost in a way no other city does, leaving less for critical public services like fire, police, parks and libraries. And over the next five years, the cost of maintaining the unfair status quo will be nearlyNot only is the People’s Ordinance outdated and costly, it limits the refuse collection services the city can provide to you.
Measure B is not a rate increase. State law requires a cost-of-service study and other steps before any action can be further taken by the city to make any changes to how we manage the cost of waste management. City protocol further requires public hearings on the matter. Without a “yes” vote on Measure B, we can’t even take one step forward to study this issue.
A “yes” vote on Measure B is the beginning of an equitable and improved waste management program that serves all San Diegans and prioritizes our Climate Action Plan’s outcomes. To deliver all the services that San Diegans expect and deserve, we must vote “yes” on Measure B on the Nov. 8 ballot.
