Tensions rise on SANDAG board regarding weighted vote -

SAN DIEGO – Tensions continued to rise regarding SANDAG’s controversial weighted vote.

Several city mayors had contacted attorneys to question the voting system, which gives the county’s three largest constituencies veto power. San Diego, Chula Vista, and the county have the power to override all other constituencies represented on SANDAG’s board. On Monday, Jan. 23, the board was meant to vote for the final time on whether to keep this system of voting, installed in 2017, in place. The vote was predicted to be a fruitless effort by San Diego’s smaller constituencies.

I’m so glad I moved out of California in 2020. It’s just sad it has turned into a big shit hole at least it’s one less thing I don’t have to worry about with all them shitty extra taxes.

Where is Mark in the AM…bring him back - do the right thing and make AM weekday enjoyable again. Diane not the right fit for AM

How are they going to tax us? Install mile counters in the car?

give the city all your money for to counteract the loss of money from all the electric cars that don't use gas. It's all about money going to the government. Since electric cars are the future and the gas tax won't apply to them they have to find another way to steal your money.

That’s controlled Communism! Did Everyone in California drink the Koolaid? Totally wrong!

Ha! Kalifornian’s get what they deserve! They voted for these clowns. Enjoy!

Who cares!People of California should be taxed for being alive!They vote for lunatics so they should enjoy the lunacy!

Let’s do it! Let’s class action sue SANDAG Leadership for the pain, undue stress, and financial worry they are putting us all through. Who can take this on? Are there any lawyers out there that would be willing to stand with “The People” against the Kingdom of SANDAG? 👎🏼

Massively subsidized drivers are upset when the world doesn't fully pay for their car and car infrastructure

San Diego is German for “a whale’s vagina.”

Cool! I’m going to work from home 100% now.

i'll stop paying taxes, i feel like this game would be more fun than working a dead end job for 40+ years to have some rich people come along and take subsidies from the gov't to fund their losing business which are in the form of our pensions and 401ks

Wait....Gas!!.. tax!!! Somebody get CarlTheCryerDemaio on this fassst......lol Wata loser...

check out Canada's carbon taxes

No taxation without representation.

Death 💀 to government overreach Death 💀 to all taxation but sales taxes. Give me Liberty 🗽 or give me Death 💀 Ethos Libertas

Easy fix, unplug the odometer in your car.

Or register your vehicle out of state

This is your Commie Board at work. What did you expect San Diego? You're the GOV's baby. Incapable of controlling your own lives and need Daddy to do it for you.

So basically if you’re not elite you’re not driving elonmusk

What is the point in SANDAG? The money people are taxed, will it go to make public transportation safer? Don't think so. Will public transportation run 24/7? Nope. Once off of public transportation and your walking to work, is SANDAG gone to be responsible if you get mugged?

🔥👣

Disband SANDAG.

Abolish SANDAG

Those smaller entities MUST fight tyranny! This is ridiculous!

California is literally built around the car.

SANDAG is out of control and needs to be reigned in. Too many taxes

Can they bulldoze all of California?

They want to make a Power House out of Chula Vista

We already have a mileage tax it’s called gas tax and if you drive more you pay more fucking commies

Fraud waste and abuse coming from these people!

And put me in better public transportation? Based! Oh, sorry, . Was that not the correct response?

any rational, intelligent judge will see the overreach of power and illegal standing SanDag has for creating any type of policy that is enforced. We don't vote, you can't tax us! All tax measures must be voted on by the citizens, SanDags back-door ones as well!

It’s a total asinine idea, but since it’s California they’ll love it.

So basically as a Outside Salesman who travels to see his customers (Builders, GC's, A&D) I'm screwed.

Yes, taxes reduce consumption, including reducing driving. That is what taxes do. And that is exactly what this tax does: pay for your road or stop driving. This is not a conspiracy.

Welcome to communist cali where pols frinds siphon you tax money to make them more money.

It’s not a veto power, it’s… a weighted vote. Is this seriously supposed to be a news organization?

Lol by 3 SANDAG constituencies you mean a majority of San Diegans? ftfy

Funny the whistleblower link is missing on the website. It was there before but now no longer posted. Go get them KUSI

Go get sandag better known as sandbag. Democracy and common sense allude people when you have absolute power. Someone needs to investigate what is going on in these elected folks bank accounts including kick backs. KUSI please post the whistleblower hotline or details

SANDAG GOTTA GO!

Good we voted that mileage tax out and they did not listen.

SANDAG has gotta go.
