Measure WW is a 20 year extension of the existing Measure AA, which was approved by voters in 1988. Measure AA is a fee on property of less than $10 per $100K of assessed value. Over its 20 year life, the existing measure has funded the acquisition of 34,000 acres of land (creating 17 new regional parks and recreation facilities), added over 100 miles of trails, and provided $60 million for 235 neighborhood recreation projects. If approved by the voters, Measure WW will will generate an additional $500 million for additional acquisitions and infrastructure projects in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties -- without raising anyone's taxes. With Alameda and Contra Costa Counties' populations continuing to grow, land preservation must keep pace with development. Open spaces for wildlife and other natural resources as well as lands for the active and passive recreational pursuits are necessary in order to maintain the quality of life for future generations.
My organization has endorsed Measure WW. Check out the campaign website for a complete list of endorsements and a list of what projects the measure will fund.
