SAN DIEGO – On Friday, Jan. 13, the SANDAG board will welcome in a new executive board. Many feel that the voices of certain constituencies are failing to be heard due to a recently implemented weighted voting system, but do our representatives even care?
As it stands, the cities San Diego and Chula Vista have full veto power over any vote through a weighted system. This prevents all smaller constituencies from voicing meaningful opposition.Thursday evening, Mayor John Minto of the City of Santee joined KUSI’s Hunter Sowards to discuss the weighted vote and the frustrations of cities like Santee, Poway, and Del Mar.10 of 19 Board Members want change, but rest like it just the way it is.
