San Francisco, CA - The Filipino American Democratic Empowerment Council, the Filipino American Political Association and community leaders have met to discuss their strong opposition to Proposition H -- a measure on the November Ballot that would take away the right to vote on bonds, and enable the city to take over privately owned utilities. With other Asian Pacific American organizations, these FilAmerican groups have all voted to formally oppose Proposition H.
The San Francisco City Controller estimates the cost of the take over to be “in the billions.” Other estimates put it at more than $4 billion.
In addition to the Filipino American Democratic Empowerment Council and the Filipino American Political Association, other key Asian Pacific American organizations opposing Proposition H are the Asian Pacific American Democratic Caucus, Asian Pacific Democratic Club, and the Westside Chinese Democratic Club all.
US Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Gavin Newsom, the San Francisco Fire Fighters Association, the Coalition for San Francisco Neighborhoods, the Small Business Network, and many other civic groups and other leaders also urge a NO vote on Proposition H.
