| MEHC Endorsements State Propositions YES on Prop 5: This proposition will allow for more local control over the approval of affordable housing and public infrastructure bonds, by lowering the voting threshold on those bonds to 55%. MEHC strongly supports this proposition, it is needed for the passing of any future affordable housing bonds in Marin County. Local Marin Tenant Protection Measures Read more NO on Fairfax Measure I: This measure was put forward by landlords arguing against the rent control already in place in Fairfax. Measure I would repeal current Fairfax tenant protections, as well as some protections that Fairfax renters have had for years. It would leave Fairfax renters worse off than when tenant protections were initially raised to the Town Council. The existing rent control regulation is aligned with state law; this measure would repeal it, and replace it with fewer protections for tenants. YES on Larkspur Measure K: Would keep rent affordable, prevents unfair evictions, provides a fair return on rents, helps combat displacement from Marin YES on San Anselmo Measure O: Would provide Just Cause tenant protections YES on San Anselmo Measure N: Would implement rent stabilization Additional Election Information MEHC has not taken a position on Prop 33. It will both repeal Costa-Hawkins and prevent the state from regulating local jurisdictions that may use rent control regulations to suppress housing. The League of Women Voters has extensive information on the election. It has pros and cons sessions on the ballot measures, including Prop 33 and on local candidates.
