Editor,
Despite outside politicians and the San Mateo Daily Journal endorsing the two members, Tuesday’s recall election shows the silent majority is not happy with low-income housing being forced upon Millbrae without the people having a say.

Thank you for your letter, Mr. Yu. Let’s all, not just Millbrae, vote down any measure attempting to take away our voting rights. We’ve already seen what SMC has attempted to do and there’s no reason to think they’ll “wise” up and operate in the best interests of their residents. In addition to voting down these measures, do not vote for candidates who support these measures. Start noting these candidates and hold them responsible by not voting for them.
