Up Close Show: Measure D is attempt to overturn Board of Supervisor’s $60k salary cap

Tom Murphy of the government watchdog Red Brennan Group sat down with Z107.7s Gary Daigneault on Fridayโ€™s (September 9, 2022) Up Close Show. Murphy took a deep dive into the backstory on ballot measure D which country voters will have a chance to vote for or against on the November 8 General Election ballot.

Murphy explained how measure D is an attempt by the board of supervisors to overturn the 2020 electionโ€™s county measure K which was approved by a super majority of voters and would limit county supervisors to a single four-year term with an annual salary cap of $60,000.

Murphy said โ€œYour listeners, their tax dollars are paying for the county supervisors to overturn that two-thirds vote.โ€

As for the title of ballot measure D, which is โ€œAMENDMENTS TO THE COUNTY CHARTER FOR TAXPAYER PROTECTION AND GOVERNMENT REFORM,โ€ Murphy said, โ€œThey are essentially โ€˜gaslighting voters.โ€™โ€

Murphy urged voters to resist being manipulated and to read ballot measure D and vote against it.
Measure D with relevant sections highlighted may be found at RedBrennan.org under โ€œVote No on D.โ€
