November 3rd Ballot Recommendation

Please do not be confused by the ballot.

In order to get what YOU want on the November ballot you MUST vote NO on
two questions and YES on only one. IF you wish the City of Santa Clarita
to Annex your area you MUST vote No on A and NO on B and YES on C.

I grew up in this area and have seen the benefits of having local government close at hand and not is some far away place in downtown LA. This City of Santa Clarita works, however imperfectly at times, but in large part because it is locally governed it has become a great area to live. I highly recommend a VOTE of YES on C on your November 3rd ballot.

Only with a VOTE of NO on A - a VOTE of NO on B and a VOTE of YES on C ...
will they consider adding adjoining areas to the city of Santa Clarita.

The disadvantages NONE... Taxes will go DOWN. The various areas considering annexation will still be Tesoro, or Stevenson Ranch, or Castaic, but they will also be Santa Clarita. Just like Northridge is Northridge but ALSO Northridge
is in the City of Los Angeles. The HOA (if any) will still be your HOA, they will
still maintain the common area through the HOA fees.

City services come on a resident first basis as you know, if you are in those areas affected you are NOT residents until you VOTE YES on C, & the city annexes those area. When you are a Santa Clarita resident you go to the front of the line for Parks & Recreation services: Parks classes, sports and activities now fill by a first-come for City residents and the left-overs are for the non-residents, the outsiders. As residents you will be on the INSIDE for dance classes, swimming lessons, sports teams etc.

Increased policing services: The Los Angeles County Sheriff is currently
our policing agency. The city of Santa Clarita also has chosen the LA County
Sheriff... BUT within the city limits they are stronger, more Sheriffs and
their services, per person than outside the city.

A governing board that lives here: Supervisor Antonovitch is not a resident
& has over 2 MILLION constituents & is 27 miles away! The City Council meetings
are at NIGHT twice a month within 5 miles of our homes... NOT during the
day, 27 miles away!

Our tax dollars spent here: We produce more tax dollars here than are spent
here - therefore the extra goes to fund areas far away.

Local Control, Tax Dollars Spent Locally, More Services, LESS taxes: VOTE
YES on C (NO on A & B).

It does not matter what you think about Tesoro, Stevenson Ranch or Westridge
or Castaic, ONLY be concerned with where YOU live... the votes are counted
separately & the City will know what your area wants.

VOTE YES on C & (NO on A & B).
