FIX THE BUDGET FIRST! Vote NO on FF GG HH (NOV. 4th)! Berkeleyans Against Soaring TAxes!

Fix the Budget First! Vote NO on FF · GG · HH

BASTA! (Berkeleyans Against Soaring TAxes!) – Who Are We?

Neighborhood organizations and residents from all walks of life, across our beloved City who believe that Berkeley can balance its budget without any new taxes. The City of Berkeley collects 3-4 times as much money per resident than our local cities. Berkeleyans continue to pay the highest city and County taxes in the State.

The Mayor and City Council failed to get our message in November 2004 when residents, with the help of the Berkeley Fire Fighters’ Union, nixed the plan to raise taxes in the form of a usurious parcel tax. This is why BASTA! – Berkeleyans Against Soaring Taxes, has organized a campaign to educate voters, and mobilize once again to freeze our taxes to current levels, and to force the City to cut the fat and manage its budget in a responsible manner.

Some of the Neighborhood Organizations Opposing the November Tax Measures Are:
Berkeley Alliance of Neighborhood Associations – BANA
Berkeley Can Do Better
Berkeley Property Owners Association – BPOA
Black Property Owners Association
Blake and California Neighborhood Association – BCNA
Claremont Elmwood Neighborhood Association – CENA
Council of Neighborhood Associations – CNA
Le Conte Neighborhood Association
Oregon Neighborhood Crime Watch
Stanton Neighborhood Association
The Board of North East Berkeley Association
Tyler King Neighborhood Association

NO on City of Berkeley 2008 Ballot Measures -

Measure FF: Library Bond
Measure GG: Fire Protection and Emergency Response and Preparedness Tax
Measure HH: GANN Limit Override Renewal for Parks, Library, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Emergency Medical Services For Severely Disabled Persons

Farrelli’s Neighborhood Cafe

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:24:13 +0000

This winter Farrelli’s Pizza took a bold step by inviting nearly 100 of their staff members to help them plot the company’s course for 2010 at the Farrelli’s Neighborhood Cafe. The result was some lively conversation, some outstanding idea generation, and a tangilbe plan for action to implement those ideas.

Arcade Fire – Neighborhood #1 – (Tunnels )

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:08:58 +0000

And if the snow buries my
My neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
Then I’ll dig a tunnel
From my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours

You climb out the chimney
And meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there’s no one else around
We let our hair grow long
And forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker
From living out in the snow

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn

Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes, we remember our bedrooms
And our parent’s bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents
Well, what ever happened to them

You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I’ve been trying to sing

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors
Over this heart of mine!

I do NOt own this song or band etc

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)- Arcade Fire * The Rock-afire X

This song won the fan bidding contest, and I fell in love with it. I believe it to be a great choice. Eric sends this out to Aubrey who can “turn the lead sleeping in his head to gold”.
