Please reply to all with any corrections, additions, deletions,
etc. to the minutes. The last posted version shall stand at least
until the next meeting unless there is a dispute. In the latter
case, I will offer my opinion and we will decide as a group at the
next meeting. <br>

I think we had a good crowd and a very productive meeting this
evening. A good time was had by all, I think. <br>

his personal lawsuits against big banks for predatory

<br>
<br>
David Merritt pressured into signing a loan contract without
reading and without getting a copy of the contract. They added text
to the contract, which David found out after finally suing
Countrywide to get a copy of the contract from them. David then
filed a suit in Federal court, which was ultimately dismissed. He
then filed in State court (Santa Clara County Superior Court. Wells
Fargo was dismissed from the from the case. An appellate court
reinstated Wells Fargo as a defendant in "Merritt v. Wells Fargo".
In the most recent hearing, last Friday, 17 August, David Merritt
petitioned Judge James Stoelker to recuse himself for cause, as he
had represented defendants Countrywide and First American Title in
numerous cases over the previous decade prior to having been
appointed to the bench by former Governor Schwarzenegger; see "<a

We have 4 votes, distributed to our County Council Members,
who must decide how to handle split votes: who to vote for and who
against. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 30 = Gerry Brown tax proposal: 2 tax measures: Brown's
increase sales tax by ~0.25 percent plus impose higher taxes on
$200K or $250K income -- would sunset after 6 (?) years. Includes a
constitutional amendment with more money for jails and public
safety. SC Greens 4 YES. <br>
<br>
<br>
4 yes: 5 <br>
4 no: 2 <br>
4 abstain: 1 <br>
4 no position: 3 <br>
<br>
<br>
Conclusion: 2 YES, 1 NO, 1 NO POSITION. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 38 = Munger taxes for education only and not for general
budget purposes -- would sunset after 12 (?) years. Munger may
preempt prop. 30 if it gets more votes. Gerry Brown's is more tax.
SC Greens 4 NOs. <br>
<br>
<br>
unresolved concern: Caroline does not understand the allocation of
the <br>
<br>
<br>
consensus: 4 NOs<br>
<br>
<br>
* These are tax measures. Warner doesn't think they are
constitutional amendments but he's not certain. Constitutional
measures don't sunset. Brown seems more thorough and effective than
Munger. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 31 = state & local government initiative: Would give
any governor extensive powers to veto more or less anything: SC
County Greens vote 4 NOs. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 32 = Corporation want to defund unions packaged as
balanced requiring unions to get permission from every member to
spend any money on political campaigns: SC Co. Greens 4 NOs. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 33: Auto insurance reform: Mercury insurance wants to
give good drivers reduced rates but anyone with a lapse in insurance
would pay more: Greens vote 4 NOs. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop. 34: repeal the death penalty: Alameda County expressed
reservations on two grounds: argument is made on monetary grounds.
SC Greens vote 4 YES. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop. 35: Increase criminal penalties for human
trafficking. LA voted mostly yes; Alameda County voted NO. Sounds
great but can we study the details more? <br>
<br>
<br>
Consensus: 4 votes NO POSITION <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop. 36: to reform 3 strikes would require a violent crime
for any conviction: SC Greens 4 YES. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 37: label GMOs: SC Greens 4 YES. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 39: Roll back lower taxes on out of state corporate
taxes: SC Greens 4 YES. <br>
<br>
<br>
Prop 40: State Senate redistricting: YES affirms the most
recent maps; Republicans oppose these maps. SC Greens 4 YES. <br>
