Has Anyone Yet Received Their Long Beach Voter Information Guide?

Many voters, including this writer, did not receive a Long Beach Voter Information Guide with sample ballot for the April primary election. The City Clerk contends that it was sent on time and to all registered voters.

Sources from the US Postal Service deny receiving the materials before the April election and infact, we ordered to deliver many two weeks after the primary.

So now we await to receive the June 5th voter guide which must include an analysis and arguments pro and con on the Measure M which proposes to take up to 12% of the gross revenues of our city utilities. And if the utilities don't have enough to pay the transfer, they can raise utility bills to cover the taken money.

This writer and three others authored arguments why Measure M should fail. Those materials should be sent to every voter by the City. I will get into those arguments in a later post. Right now I am asking readers to contact the City Clerk and demand to know where your voting materials are.
