Panel and Q & A on City of San Diego’s Measure B
About this Event

For the last decade, the League has called out the unequal treatment of San Diegans by the People’s Ordinance, which provides free trash hauling for only a portion of the residents. The League believes that all residents must contribute to the costs of waste management and that the government should maintain an equitable system of taxation. We support policies to reduce the generation of trash and to promote reuse and recycling.

The San Diego City Council placed Measure B on the November 2022 ballot to address these inequities. Voters will be asked to approve an amendment so that all City residents receive comparable trash, recycling, and other solid waste management services by allowing the City to charge a hauling fee and provide additional services, such as weekly recycling, bulky item pickup, and curbside container replacement and delivery, at no extra charge.

Three speakers will advocate for this measure:

  • Kim Knox, president of the League of Women Voters of San Diego, which has been advocating in support of this ballot measure for the past year.
  • Michael Zucchet, general manager of the San Diego Municipal Employees Association. He served as Councilmember for San Diego’s second district from 2002 to 2005 and as Deputy Mayor in 2005.
  • Lauren Cazares, policy advisor for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce.

If you’d like to get lunch before the 1pm meeting, there are several restaurants at Fenton Marketplace near the library, including Luna Grill which has some outdoor seating.
