...it all boils down to the MILEAGE TAX. The cities San Diego and Chula Vista have total veto power on SANDAG, silencing opposition from smaller constituencies. Efforts are underway to throw off this weighted vote, but they may be futile. More info:
SAN DIEGO – On Friday, Jan. 13, the SANDAG board will welcome in a new executive board. Many feel that the voices of certain constituencies are failing to be heard due to a recently implemented weighted voting system.
As it stands, the cities San Diego and Chula Vista have full veto power over any vote through a weighted system. This prevents all smaller constituencies from voicing meaningful opposition. KUSI’s Dan Plante went live with details on how SANDAG’s upcoming decision could create a slough of problems for the people of San Diego.
Mayor John Minto of the City of Santee joined KUSI’s Hunter Sowards to discuss the weighted vote and the frustrations of cities like Santee, Poway, and Del Mar.
