If you're still on the fence over Measure I, or if you just feel like you haven't fully heard the opposing side, check out www.nomeasurei.com for the "Rebutting the Mayor" feature (for fairness, here's the pro-Measure I campaign site). The campaign responds to statements that Foster has made about the infrastructure plan as quoted by local media, including several statements Foster made during a Q&A interview with me last month.
