Santa Clara county has one of the largest open space districts around, thanks in part to a property assessment that the voters have supported since 1972. This assessment is up for renewal tomorrow for the sixth time as Measure B.

This will be my first election as a property owner, so my vote will impact me for the first time! As a fan of Rancho San Antonio and other preserves in the area, I am happy to vote yes. That’s an easy one…now if I could only sort through the mud-slinging of Westly and Angelides, I’d be set.
