What Others Are Saying about Renewing Measure M"I ask people to close their eyes for a minute and think about
what the (Santa Ana) 5 (Freeway) would look like in Anaheim if we didn't
have Measure M…Instead of six to seven lanes on each side, it'd
be three." “Despite Orange County’s population explosion, moms and
dads can still get home on time to make their child’s little league
game. This is due in great part, to Measure M. Measure M has been critical
in filling pot holes and improving our highways. Every Measure M dollar
stays in Orange County to be invested on our highways and streets. As
in 1990, the renewal of Measure M means voters have the opportunity
again to say "yes" to transportation improvement, and Yes
to OC’s quality of life. Let’s come home on time. Vote yes
on Measure M” “Measure M has had huge impact; we would not enjoy the quality
of life in Orange County that we do today if we had not passed Measure
M in 1990, and we will not have it in 2040 if we do not renew M.”
“The undeniable truth is that Measure M has transformed Orange
County's transportation system...Measure M is one of the rare instances
where government did exactly what it said it was going to do, on schedule
and within budget.” "Our members repeatedly tell us that traffic congestion and traffic
safety are among their top concerns. Renewing Measure M is an effective
and much needed way to continue the significant progress Orange County
has made toward addressing these important issues." "Our organization's board of directors voted unanimously to support
the renewal of Measure M. They recognize that one of the critical components
to maintaining a prosperous economy is improving our infrastructure,
particularly our roads and freeways. The ability to move goods and people
can make or break a company and it is incumbent on our county, its residents
and businesses to facilitate those transportation improvements and stay
ahead of congestion and gridlock, which is exactly what a vote for Measure
M does." “The additional funding that will come from the extension of
Measure M will continue to modernize and expand our transportation infrastructure.
Without it, our quality of life and the economic future of Orange County
are much more uncertain.” “Orange County could pay for its transportation needs without
Measure M, but it would take 100 years to do and I don’t think
anybody wants to wait that long.” "During my time on the California Transportation Commission, I
have worked with counties throughout the state and witnessed how crippling
a lack of transportation funding can be. Measure M is vital to Orange
County's future. Not only does Measure M provide money to complete projects
itself, but it also acts as a magnet for state and federal funds."
