Measure V and Measure W in Redwood City Fail to Pass
November 5, 2008
Two controversial measures in Redwood City failed to get enough votes to become law. Measure V and Measure W, which would have required require two-thirds voter approval for development on Open Space lands (measure W) and on Cargill’s salt flats (Measure V) were struck down. Measure V was voted down by a margin of only about 1%.
As a result of the failure of these two measures, the laws in Redwood City will remain unchanged.
The funding to oppose Measure W came almost entirely from Cargill and its development partner, DMB Associates. The funding that opposed Measure V came from Save the Bay and company.

“The funding to oppose these measures came almost entirely from Cargill and its development partner, DMB Associates.”
The funding for the Anti-W campaign was from Cargill/DMB. The only group promoting V was myself and a few residents who were impacted by Measure W. The funding that opposed V, that would have given Redwood City residents a vote on Cargill, came from Save the Bay and company. Please see Daily Post 11/5 page 7.
