There are fourteen statewide props on the November ballot. To stage an event that’s up to our usual standards – well-researched mini-debates with pro and con sides of each measure – barely a week after our Party & Auction would be, in a word, impossible.
So – because of all that auction action – we are postponing the August 4 meeting to August 11. Same time, same place.
UPDATE: Endorsement results here.
