"Before we spend another dime of taxpayer money, we need to know exactly how it will be spent and where it will go." Vote NO on Prop A. Vote Barry Wernick for County Commissioner, District 2.

  • Sixteen years without a county tax-rate hike. Then Andy Sommerman made the motion. It passed 3-2. By the court's own order, the average $350,000 home pays about $116 more a year. Sommerman didn't just vote yes. He moved it, and then moved to send a higher rate to your November ballot. Price and Garcia voted no. He voted yes, twice. Replace him with a commissioner who will vote no. Chip in $22 for Barry Wernick.
