Saving Sonoma County Parks and Jobs
“I’m calling members, texting people I know, pulling on people’s
ears to educate them on the importance of Sonoma County’s Measure
M,” said Michael Stanford, who works in Sonoma County Parks “I
tell them that if they love the great outdoors and want more
parkland with more trails, and also want to create green union
jobs, they should vote yes.”
Measure M, if approved by voters, will raise funds for county and
city parks throughout Sonoma County, bringing in approximately
$11.5 million dollars annually to the parks system.
“It would lead to major renovations of our current parks which
are degrading fast, open new parkland and, most importantly for
our members, lead to permanent positions for Sonoma County
Regional Parks employees who are stuck as extra Help due to the
lack of funding for parks programs,” Stanford continued. “Measure
M has wide support, including almost every elected leader in the
area, environmental groups, labor unions, and anyone else who
cares about our community,.

other measures that support working families and our communities,
