In addition to doing the right thing for our 4 legged friends, this bond measure is important because its’ success paves the way for next year’s bond election. The 2015 bond election could provide much needed funds for such things as affordable housing, neighborhood reinvestment projects, open space, job training and improvements to local parks.
