Members of the grassroots group, Irvine WatchDogs, express satisfaction that Irvine residents voted to retain their democratic rights by defeating Measure D. The campaign would have prohibited voter approval requirements on development projects.
Jeanne Baran, an Irvine resident, argues voters shouldn’t give a free pass to the development community. Baran stresses that developers and the city council need to be held accountable, arguing Voting No on Measure D protects citizen rights to petition their government.
Organizers with Irvine For Responsible Growth write that they deserve to have an open and transparent debate over the future of development in Irvine and call out a series of deceptive tactics aimed at criticizing and stopping their ballot initiative.
