Here's Why You Should Support BOMA's Political Action Committee!

OMA-SF-PAC continues to make its mark in local politics with the help of its many member contributors. BOMA is the recognized voice for commercial real estate in San Francisco, and is listened to in part because of our political strength. Even in these challenging economic times, our members understand how important it is Bto push for a more business-friendly Board of Supervisors, and to fight those measures that would hurt our industry and property values. BOMA remains concerned that district elections have created a lack of political will at the Board of Supervisors to actively support new economic development and job creation. These city-wide matters need to transcend neighborhood politics and trump narrowly-focused agendas intent on creating more restrictions and higher taxes on business. Our elected leaders need to have the vision to do what is in the best interest of the entire city, not just one area of it. Listed below are some of the key issues and candidates that the BOMA San Francisco Political Action Committee supported over the past year. • Supported the election of businessman GAVIN NEWSOM as our city Mayor; • Supported the election of KAMALA HARRIS as our District Attorney; • Supported the passage of Proposition C (November 2003), which created an annual city audit requirement to ensure better parks, recreation areas and street maintenance; • Supported the passage of Proposition D (11/03), which created an empowered Small Business Commission to more actively and effectively defend the small business community against unreasonable regulations, higher fees, and new taxes. • Supported the passage of Proposition K (11/03) to continue the 1/2 cent sales tax dedicated to local transportation improvement projects. • Supported the passage of Proposition M (11/03) which redefined the public solicitation laws to ban begging on public transportation, in median strips of streets, at on/off ramps to the freeways, and in parking lots as public safety hazards. It also will make the enforcement against aggressive panhandling easier. We thank the following member companies whose generous support of BOMA-SF-PAC through the 2004 BOMA dues solicitation is helping us accomplish our public policy objectives for the commercial real estate industry. Please keep on doing it! Your continued support will provide us with the means to fight for your interests and win the many battles yet to come being waged against property owners in San Francisco. If your company can’t make a contribution for some reason, please consider making an individual gift of any amount. Every dollar helps!
