Campaign spending in Berkeley has surged, particularly around key measures like Measure CC and Measure GG, highlighting the influence of local business interests in elections.
The No campaign against Measure GG raised a staggering $239,785 in a four-week period, surpassing the entire campaign funding by the Yes side considerably.
Supporters of Measure GG believe the tax will assist Berkeley in reaching climate goals that were compromised by the invalidation of a gas hookup ban.
Campaign finance records reveal that major contributors, like the National Association of Realtors and local businesses, are heavily backing efforts to defeat tax proposals.
