11,672

Measure O

Measures N and O were placed on the ballot by Florida would be developer Richard Poe, who tried to make an end run around the normal planning and public review process with Measure N and tried to punish the City of Richmond with Measure O by reducing the city manager’s compensation to an unrealistic level.
