Argument Against Measure T
!?ROPOSED BALLOT ARGUMENT AC UNST CUPERTINO CITY HE.~SURE T
Readl~',Hea8ure T, woule! you ever suspect' that O~dina:Jc3 15'34 says "'Che
purpose' '" is to impollea utility UlllOri!<exc1Be t~x ...' ,to PIIY, the'
usual and ourrent expenses... .:>tthe C'ìty .. .?" Acquisition and
preservation costs tor Blackberry Farm and other park land are hardly
"usual and current expenses!" Vote NO on Heasure TI
City officials believe a utility tax passed by a simple majority can be
laundered throuth the general fund tor a project otherwise requiring
two-thtrds approval. This subversion of Proposition 13 will be tested
In the courts should the measur~ pass, but we can stop this flagrant
bypass attempt now! Vote NO on Measure TI
They say It is a small tax. But It Is still a tax. It is difficult to
recall a time when a government bodY reduced Its revenue base, and the
city is certainly not trying to do that now. We already have too ~any
"minor costs", such as cable TV franchise fees and FCC-imposed network
acoess charges. Let's not add another! Vote NO on Heasure TI
If a utility tax is ever imposed, shouldn't it be used for something
related to gas, electricity, or telephones? Why pay for park land with
It? What do utility services have in common with baseball diamonds and
picnic areas? Not much I Vote NO art Measure TI
The undersigned authors of the primary argument against ballot Measure
T at the General Election to be held on Tuesday, November 6, 1990 In
Santa Clara County, hereby state that such argument is true and correct
to the best of knowledge and beliet.

Dorothy Cornelius
city Clerk, City of cupertino
10300 Torre Avenue
cupertino, CA 95014
Re: Measure "T" Ballot ODDosition
Dear Ms. Cornelius:
The undersigned was a signer of the ballot argument opposing
Measure "T" on the November 6, 1990, cupertino ballot.
After reviewing the statements included in that ballot
argument and checking the facts, I believe that there are false
or misleading statements therein.
Among other things, I have noted the following matters which
I now believe are either false or misleading:
Paragraph 1 -
I do not believe th~t the sum of $63 Million
is or will be involved.
paragraph 10-
I do not believe that this is a blank check
utility tax which opens the door to increases
without a vote,.
I do not believe that homeowners who make
major changes in their home are assessed a
parks fee of $15,750.00.
I do not believe that cupertino will spend
$1,300,000.00 per acre for the lands involved
in this program.
Paragraph 4 -
Paragraph 7 -
I, therefore, wish to withdraw my name from the ballot
argument and I request that you take whatever steps are
necessary to have my name withdrawn from all election materials.
Yours very truly,
~t2!}O -þ~'
