Supervisor reports RCRC took no formal positions on several November measures

A supervisor (S3) reported to the board on a recent meeting of the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC). S3 said RCRC repeatedly debated a position on Proposition 43 — which would change some voting thresholds for local tax measures — and "no action was taken" after multiple roll calls; RCRC staff had recommended no formal position but some members pushed for opposition.

S3 also told the board that RCRC debated Proposition 45 (a proposal that would alter environmental review and tribal consultation for certain projects) and ultimately took no formal position on that measure as well. S3 said RCRC discussed a housing affordability bond and provided a legislative update; the RCRC annual meeting is scheduled for Sept. 23–25 in Santa Barbara.
