In 1998, California minimum wage was $5.75 an hour. Today, it is $16.90. Pacific Grove council pay has not changed since 1998. Public service should be accessible to working people, not just the wealthy and well connected. Vote YES on Measure C.

If City Council service pays less than minimum wage and does not even cover childcare, who gets shut out? Working parents and working people. Public service should be accessible.

Let’s make every yard a safe stop. Ninety percent of our monarchs were lost last year. We can change that with pesticide-free yards, seasonal native nectar plants, and wind-sheltering trees. Get your Safe Monarch yard sign to help spread the word.
