SDCTA Supports Proposition P: City of Escondido Charter Measure
Historically, SDCTA has supported municipalities going from General Law to Charter status gives cities greater control and flexibility in their decision making while holding officials accountable for those decisions. SDCTA has also supported Charters and amendments that have eliminated the requirement of use of prevailing wages on locally funded construction projects and the inclusion of paycheck protection provisions. While SDCTA has historically opposed jurisdictions from moving to district elections, the City of Escondido has included district elections within the proposed Charter as a remedy to a lawsuit alleging the City is in violation of the California Voting Rights Act.
