REBUTTAL BALLOT ARGUMENTS AGAINST MEASURE W

Why is Irvine hiding the "Great Park's" real multibillion dollar cost to taxpayers?

Why has "Great Park" disappeared from Measure W?

Here's what they won't tell you.

After years of promoting the "Great Park" Irvine has dropped it from Measure W to hide its cost. Orange County Auditor-Controller David Sundstrom confirms "The specific developments identified in Irvine 'Great Park' proposal are not part of the initiative and would not necessarily occur as a result of its passage."

If Irvine ever builds the "Great Park", county taxpayers would be slapped with a huge bill. Former California Auditor General Kurt Sjoberg found "… the Great Park project will cost move than $2 million to build and as much as $60 million a year to maintain."

Irvine's "Great Park" is a sham. Sjoberg's independent analysis: "Without substantially increasing taxes in Orange County, there is little likelihood that many residents will ever see a Great Park within their lifetimes."

The "Great Park" would expose children to toxic waste. The Orange County Register says Irvine's 'Toxic Park' … "Great Park" … is based on wishes and pipedreams so it's not a big surprise that its plan to deal with serious environmental problems… is equally unrealistic."

El Toro is prime land worth billions to homebuilders and developers. Is more development the real story behind Measure W? Stop Irvine from raising your taxes, promoting more development and making traffic and air pollution worse.

Vote No on Measure W.
