Measure 2 Passes
Tri-Valley Herald Online - Local & Regional News: "Tolls to increase from $2 to $3 on Bay Area spans on July 1"
It appears that the regional transportation measure to improve roads,
bridges, and rail service passed by a respectable margin, 61 percent to
39 percent. Opponents may fight the outcome:
"Opponent Ken Hambrick, of the Alliance of Conta Costa
Taxpayers, was not surprised at the results.
" 'They had all the firepower, all the money and all the big
names. If we
had had half the money they did, we would have beat this," he said,
noting that voters were unaware of the measure because of coverage of
the big state ballot measures.
" 'This is not over,' he vowed, explaining that opponents are
looking at possible legal challenges of the measure."
