There are lots of advertisements on local television for Measure R…but they’re for Los Angeles County Measure R. In Irvine there is also a Measure R that’s far different than the Los Angeles County R.
Irvine Measure R would adopt the City Council’s recommendations for the Great Park. According to the city attorney’s analysis, the measure should keep separate funds for the Great Park.
Proponents of the measure state that the measure will protect Irvine taxpayers. Opponents argue that the proponents have already spent $115 million of the $200 million allocated for the project and if the measure is approved other taxpayer funds could be tapped.
