Yes on Prop B   Win
Proposition B solves one of San Francisco’s nagging problems. Appointments to most city commissions are for fixed terms, but when terms expire, commissioners continue to serve until successors are appointed. How often do these commissioners, whose terms have expired, cast important votes that result in harm to the environment? Too often!

Proposition B states that when your term expires, after 60 days you no longer serve. The 60 days gives reasonable time for a new appointment. The Sierra Club urges San Franciscans to vote yes on Prop B so that holdover commissioners don’t get to make key environmental decisions.

Yes on Prop E   Loss
The Sierra Club has endorsed San Francisco Charter Amendment E on the November ballot. Prop E promotes good government; our elected leaders can work more effectively if they talk together at open meetings, rather than through spokespersons, the press, or backroom deals.

No on Prop H   Win
Watch out for Measure H. The Examiner calls it “a veritable minefield of unintended consequences.” Brought to the ballot without a single public hearing, its sixty-one pages of fine print are full of loopholes that help downtown developers and out of town commuters—but not us.

Loopholes for gas-guzzling SUV’s
Backed by big developers & Republicans
A bad deal for neighborhoods
More traffic and pollution

No on Prop J   Loss
The Sierra Club urges San Francisco voters to vote no on Proposition J. Proposition J would make it public policy for the city to apply for all possible exemptions to public process in pursuit of such a deal — including a categorical exemption to the California Environmental Quality Act and environmental review.

The particular Wi-Fi scheme supported by Proposition J would add thousands of antennas to the city, a much higher number than other schemes might. The seeking of exemptions violates the city’s Precautionary Principle, which requires "a thorough exploration and a careful analysis of a wide range of alternatives [and selection of] the alternative that presents the least potential threat to human health and the City’s natural systems." The Sierra Club believes the city should pursue other Wi-Fi options that would involve fewer antennas. Any proposal should undergo the full standard environmental review with full public participation.
