Measure GG raises badly needed funds

“I’m writing in support of Measure GG. Raising the city’s transfer tax to be more in line with our neighboring cities of Oakland and Berkeley is a reasonable way to raise the funds necessary to fund city services and projects.

“As a long-serving member and current Chair of the Parks Commission, I successfully advocated for the City of Piedmont to complete a parks master plan. The plan’s conclusions are pretty clear: we’re loving our parks too much, and there is a real need for infrastructure replacements, improvements, and ongoing maintenance to keep our parks welcoming, functional, and sustainable.”
