Why This Vote Matters
Richmond unanimously opposed Proposition 16, a statewide ballot measure that would require two-thirds voter approval before any city or county could start providing electricity service to residents. The council voted 6-0 to formally record the city's opposition to this June 2010 ballot initiative, with one member absent. This resolution allows Richmond to take an official stance against the proposition, though it has no binding effect on the election outcome. The measure would make it significantly harder for local governments to enter the electricity business or create municipal power programs.
