Now, politicians want to “modernize” our County reserves. Let’s be clear: this is nothing more than a raid on taxpayer emergency savings.
The first $40.8 million is already gone—spent on government staff bonuses. Not on law enforcement. Not on fixing roads. Not on lowering costs. Just bonuses.
Meanwhile, San Diegans are paying some of the highest housing, energy, and grocery costs in the nation. Families and seniors are stretched to the limit, yet while you struggle to pay for gas, food, and fire insurance, politicians are lining government’s pockets with your money.
Unlocking hundreds of millions today might sound good on paper, but tomorrow it leaves us vulnerable. It drains the very reserves meant to protect taxpayers in times of crisis, forces higher borrowing, and paves the way for new taxes.
Our reserves exist to safeguard taxpayers—not bankroll political stunts or government perks.
Sign this petition today to send a clear message: Hands off our taxpayer reserves! Keep San Diego County on the right track.
