Based on current abuses that cut off critical services, we suggest these
restrictions on the power of city government:
-
Forbid the giving of subsidies to any corporation for any purpose
whatsoever. (End corporate welfare) .
-
Refer all bond issues to the electorate. (Prevents bonds, like Urban
Renewal & PGE Park, without our approval)
-
All property transactions must be at fair market value. (prevents hidden
subsidies)
-
No agency can charge more for services than the actual cost. (keeps
power of the purse strings with voters)
-
All zoning changes shall be with the consent of the residents of the
area. (Preserves neighborhood character).
-
All previous zoning changes, made without the consent of the residents,
shall require resident's consent or they must change back to previous zones.
(Reclaims neighborhood character).
-
Region's transportation money shall go to the lowest cost (to government),
proven, traffic congestion reduction technology.
