Measure T, Building Heights in the City of San Mateo - The SMGOP took an OPPOSE or NO position
The reason we took a position on Measure T was the proponent and opposition requested endorsement and both sides submitted arguments and rebuttals. Speakers from both sides presented to the SMGOP meeting on September 12, 2024. A motion was made to take a NO position on Measure T. The vote was 0–Support, 2-Neutral, 17-Oppose, and 3 abstentions.
To receive an endorsement on measures requires a 2/3s vote of members present and voting.
We encourage you to review the measures you will be voting on. The resolutions and impartial analysis for all 28 measures are on this webpage November 5, 2024 Presidential General Election | San Mateo County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder & Elections - ACRE (smcacre.gov).
