Yes on Nishi exceeds a quarter of a million dollars in expenditures

Pileofmoney-croppedThis came in as a comment on an earlier post, but we thought it deserved its own post.

Davis Gateway Student Housing LLC & Afiliated Entities, the organization for the developers of the Nishi project, has now spent $250,324.06 on the Yes on Measure J campaign!

The most recent expenditures are approximately $31,000 for "Field Expenses", $2,000 for "Voter Contact", and $15,000 for another mailer. And approximately $5,000 for a print ad. That's going to be some ad. Perhaps a full-page in the Sunday paper.

Yes, folks. That's one quarter of a million dollars.

    Wow…they could spend $250,000 on their Yes in Nishi campaign, yet they would not spend $30,000 to complete the air quality testing. I guess when the Nishi developers saw the preliminary air quality tests results come back as “significant and unavoidable” health impacts in the Nishi Draft EIR, they really did not want to know what the rest of the air quality testing would show.
    The ultra-fine particulate matter is the really deadly stuff that is produced by the massive car and train braking that occurs on each side of the Nishi property sandwiched by I-80 and the railroad tracks.

    Well, let’s see, two years ago the developers greatly outspent the
    No on Measure A side, yet the “No” side won.
    Maybe this year, out-spending Davis Citizens for Democracy by such a huge margin will also be the charm ….and No on Nishi 2.0 will win the day again!
