Am pondering Alameda County's Measure F that is up for vote in tomorrow's election... it essentially asks the entire county to vote on whether or not to continue a tax that is only levied on part of the county, for which the revenue theoretically benefits the entire county, although the language does not legally bind the money to be used for any purpose.

On the surface of it, I'd say that it doesn't seem ethical to vote for a tax that isn't levied on me... Is there anything I'm missing there?

Also, given that premise, would it be better to vote No or to not vote at all on that measure (after all, if that portion of the county does want to be taxed thusly, which rumor has it they have in the past, then I don't want to vote against their prerogative to be taxed). Anyone know what the current prevailing preference is in the affected part of the county?

Further, has anyone local come across any good online source for candidate statements for 18th Assembly District County Central Committee and 4th District County Supervisor? The voter info pamphlet didn't contain those. Thanks...
