EXCERPT: “It’s time to reverse the trend of our decaying transportation infrastructure,” said Michael Quigley, executive director of the California Alliance for Jobs, in a news release. “For years Sacramento has been facing increasing commute times, worsening congestion and declining air quality but this November vote will have an opportunity to support change” 

Quigley says we must have a safe, reliable and fully funded transportation system in order to improve Sacramento’s economy.

“Our multi-modal initiative will fast-track our roads and transit systems to move Sacramentans at the speed of the next economy so that we can compete for the jobs of the future,” said Josh Wood, executive director of the Sacramento Region Business Association. “It means more time with your family and less time in a car, train, or bus.”

EXCERPT: Today, the League of California Cities, California Professional Firefighters, SEIU California, California Alliance for Jobs, AFSCME California, and the California Special Districts Association announced their strong opposition to the deceptively named “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act,” a ballot measure sponsored by the California Business Roundtable (CBRT), an organization that advocates on behalf of the largest and wealthiest corporations in California.

“This measure would make it much more difficult to fund critical infrastructure that’s needed in California,” said Michael Quigley, Executive Director, California Alliance for Jobs. “It would undercut our ability to invest in virtually every form of infrastructure, including safe bridges, local streets and roads, public transportation, drinking water quality, new schools, and utilities.”
