The Monterey County NOW Editorial Board agrees: public service shouldn't be a luxury only the wealthy can afford. Pacific Grove council pay has been frozen since 1998 while our neighbors moved on. Measure C fixes that. Vote YES by June 2.

031

PG Progressives @pgprogressives.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Pacific Grove council pay hasn’t changed since 1998. For 27 years, costs climbed while pay stayed frozen. Measure C is modest, sensible, and overdue. Endorsed by Monterey County Democrats, DSA Central Coast, and PG Progressives. Vote YES on C.

PG Progressives @pgprogressives.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

“Gettin’ Jiggy wit It” hit No. 1 in 1998. That same year, Pacific Grove council pay hit $420 a month and stayed there. Twenty-seven years. No adjustment. No COLA. Nothing. Get civic wit it. Vote YES on Measure C by June 2.

In 1998, California minimum wage was $5.75 an hour. Today, it is $16.90. Pacific Grove council pay has not changed since 1998. Public service should be accessible to working people, not just the wealthy and well connected. Vote YES on Measure C.

000

PG Progressives @pgprogressives.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

If City Council service pays less than minimum wage and does not even cover childcare, who gets shut out? Working parents and working people. Public service should be accessible. Vote YES on Measure C.

PG Progressives @pgprogressives.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Our endorsement vote reflected the breadth of PG Progressives: retirees, young adults, renters, homeowners, newer neighbors, and longtime residents. Voting closed last night. Results soon.

Let’s make every yard a safe stop. Ninety percent of our monarchs were lost last year. We can change that with pesticide-free yards, seasonal native nectar plants, and wind-sheltering trees. Get your Safe Monarch yard sign to help spread the word.

California’s voice in Washington is on the line. Without Prop 50, Republicans will redraw the rules to grab more power and weaken our representation. With Prop 50, we defend fair maps, protect democracy, and keep California’s voice strong.
