The Santa Clara, California, city Chamber of Commerce has voted to oppose Proposition 14, the “top-two” ballot measure on the June 8 ballot. On March 23, the chamber had heard a presentation from representatives of both sides. Brian Brennan from the Silicon Valley Leadership Group had spoken for the measure, and Christina Tobin of Free & Equal had spoken against it.
I think it’s wonderful that the Santa Clara Chamber of Commerce took the time to hear a presentation from both sides. I hope many others follow their lead. It is the right thing to do.
