Aisha Wahab & SB 1193
It seems that many members of Alameda County (who are subscribed to the email list) received a strongly worded email from David Haubert regarding Wahab’s SB 1193. A few things have been made clear but it is still unclear who’s in the right. I currently understand the following:
- Wahab has been extremely NIMBY and continues to pass bills that are anti housing and make it harder to built as head of the housing committee.
- Haubert sent an email saying that Wahab is retaliating against the Alameda County Board of Supervisors for endorsing Hernandez (Hernandez is conveniently the Health Care Director for Alameda County and in the signed email).
- People have prior frustration with the Alameda Board of Supervisors and say they lean Republican / right.
- Certain nonprofits opposite it (SB 1193) but the list is still small right now.
Between Hernandez and Wahab, who’s the best option for November? Should we be concerned about SB 1193 limiting Alameda County’s self governance?
