Do We Want Our City Council to Focus on Culture War Issues?

There Are Many Important Issues Facing the City

The city is in a precarious financial position facing deficits of $24 million over the next four years. next year while wasting resources on "culture war" issues.
HUNTINGTON BEACH has developed a national reputation as "Angrytown, USA". Is that what we really want? Do the City's constant lawsuits against the state really benefit the city? Let's become Surf City again!
A budget conflict between RESIDENT services and INCREASED TOURISM has developed -- affecting budgets for libraries, parks, roads and and infrastructure..

Protect HB takes no position about whether the city SHOULD have an airshow. However, we ARE concerned about the Settlement Agreement.

IT TOOK A COURT ORDER FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE ALLOWED TO SEE THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT

The settlement terms now revealed show that we have agreed to terms under which Pacific Airshow will receive over $32 million from the city!
The contract with PA is renewable (BY THEM) for 40 YEARS! And PA is even allowed to SELL the contract to another entity, without requiring approval by the city.
Kim Carr, who was excluded from the original settlement, fought the lawsuit against PA and WON -- proving PA had a very weak case.

As a result of the controversy, the state has approved an audit of the settlement -- but the city is now in litigation refusing to cooperate with the state.

Petitions to Protect our Libraries

Protect HB, along with the HB Friends of the Library, has collected signatures on TWO PETITIONS to enable voters to protect the HB Library System.

PROTECT HB FROM BOOK BANS -- The Council passed an ordinance to create a Book Review Committee that will forbid librarians from purchasing ANY materials with "sexual references" (including basic information on anatomy or puberty!) designed for children, teens or young adults. The first petition will allow voters to repeal that ordinance. This petition was submitted to the City Clerk on October 28 with 127% of the required number of signatures.

PROTECT HB FROM LOSS OF CONTROL OVER OUR LIBRARIES -- The council majority tried to hire a private, for-profit company to take over management of our book collection, as well as staff and program management. The second petition will allow voters to determine changes in the management of OUR libraries. The signatures collected on the second petition will be turned in on November 25.
