Thanks for your letter, Mr. Daane. I imagine developers and building trade unions weren’t happy with the original vote so now they’re hoping their contributions into our political process effect a better return on investment by challenging Measure Y, over and over and over until they receive the result the special interests desire. It’s better to vote out the folks who continue putting up the height limit for vote.
