SUPPORT FOR PROPOSITION 99 AT THE NNE 3, 2008, ELECTION
RESOLVED, by the Council of the City of Burlingame, California:
WHEREAS, the California Legislature has failed to reform State laws to ensure that

provide ironclad protections for California homeowners; and
WHEREAS, the Yes on Proposition 99 campaign represents a broad-based coalition,
including the League of California Cities, California States Association of Counties, League of
California Homeowners, California League of Conservation Voters, California Alliance for
