Measures A and B represent.a very positive change to the old ways of doing business. Please join me to bring term limits and a highly qualified Finance Commission to Los Gatos in this Nov. 3rd election.
Sandy Decker - Former Mayor & Councilwoman
Measure A represents the kind of smart, transparent fiscal management Los Gatos needs. I hope you’ll join me in voting Yes to improve our Town’s finances.
Tom Ferrito - Former Mayor & Councilmember
Los Gatos is full of highly qualified residents with extensive experience in business and finance. Term Limits and a knowledgeable Finance Commission will increase the number of residents engaged in the important work of the Town and help to build community. Join me in voting Yes on Measures A and B.
Colleen Wilcox, Phd - Former Superintendent Santa Clara County Schools
A and B are on the ballot so Los Gatos can vote for two common sense government reform measures. Term limits are needed to make elections more fair and will encourage more candidate choice. The Finance Commission will increase transparency and strengthen the Town’s financial discipline. Support a better Los Gatos and vote yes on A and B.
Phil Koen - Chairman Stack Infrastructure
We should learn from the best practices of our neighboring cities. California’s best managed cities have finance commissions and 12 of the 15 cities in Santa Clara County enforce term limits. Let’s also move forward by Voting Yes on A & B.
Jak Van Nada - Former CEO
Term limits and an expert Finance Commission are common-sense fixes to improve local government here in Los Gatos. Vote Yes on A & B for accountable, better government.
Rick Van Hoesen - Chief Financial Officer
