QytiNSA Npo2 City Council Meeting - Submit <br /> Submitted On: <br /> your written public comment Jun 6, 2023, 10:25AM PDT <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> p�A YVt:D PP <br /> Full Name First Name: Anurag <br /> Last Name: Jain <br /> Email (this entry is disclosable <br /> if included) <br /> City Council Meeting Date June 06, 2023 <br /> Agenda Item Number 1 <br /> Comments Dear City Council, <br /> I am writing to express my support for the Our Neighborhood Voices <br /> Initiative. I believe that Pleasanton must join other cities to stand up <br /> to state overreach, and that supporting this initiative is a small but <br /> important step in that direction. <br /> The state government has been increasingly encroaching on the <br /> rights of local governments in recent years. This is a trend that is <br /> harmful to our communities, as it takes away our ability to make <br /> decisions that are best for our own residents. <br /> The Our Neighborhood Voices Initiative would amend the state <br /> constitution to give local governments more authority over land use <br /> and development. This would be a major step towards restoring <br /> local control and giving our communities a voice in the future of our <br /> city. <br /> I urge you to support this important initiative. Thank you for your <br /> time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Anurag Jain <br /> PS: I am a member of our Planning Commission; However, this item <br /> has not been discussed at the planning meetings and the <br /> commission has not taken a position on it, hence I am writing in as <br /> an individual. <br />
