Dear KSQD,
I am writing with the hope of reaching Gillian Greensite to thank her for her letter to the editor in the Sentinel on April 30th regarding the ordinance (Measure E) and the Map (602) approved by five members of the Santa Cruz City Council in their special meeting on April 19th.
Tomorrow on May 10th the city will have the formal vote to approve the ordinance based on the outcome of Measure E. As Gillian aptly laid out in her letter the vote for a mayor will be a vote for the mayor of some, not a mayor for all. It will put in place district maps that will divide neighborhoods and weaken the voting rights of the Latinx community in the City of Santa Cruz.
