LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Editor, Times-Advocate:

Probably, an even more closely watched contest than California’s current Powerball Mega-Millions drawing, will be finding out who claims winning ticket, on Lilac Hills Ranch Ballot Measure on San Diego County’s General Election in No­vember 2016.

Will registered voters in San Di­ego approve, or disapprove Lilac Hills Ranch Ballot Measure? While pundits used to call contests like this a “million dollar question,” during 2016 the stakes couldn’t be higher. Although I couldn’t accurately esti­mate a value figure, I imagine calcu­lations are being formed already, as analysts on both sides anguish over the outcome.

Actually, SD Voters might get an early hint soon, or at least be able to examine how Lilac Hills Ranch Specific Plan will be described in the 2016 Voter’s Guide, as a new impar­tial analysis will be prepared and re­leased soon by SD County Registrar of Voters.

In fact, a new 10-day Impact Report by County staff will be released pub­licly on Thursday July 28, 2016, to inform Board of Supervisors for fur­ther action August 2, 2016; to place Lilac Hills Ranch project as Ballot Measure during 2016 General Elec­tion cycle. Countdown is imminent until the next clue is released.
