Huntington Beach's Measures A and B: Ballots out for election over library issues that have polarized city
Ballots are out and vote centers will open at the end of the month for the upcoming June 10 election in Huntington Beach that will determine if two ballot initiatives, Measures A and B, concerning city libraries will be put into effect.
The election is a test for some of the most polarizing policies from the conservative City Council, including its push to create a review board over childrens books. Voters could also decide to make it harder for future councils to privatize the librarys operations.
Measure A
Measure A calls for eliminating a law the City Council initiated last year that created the rules for a 21-member childrens book review board.
Measure B
Measure B would make it harder for the librarys operations to be privatized after the City Council solicited bids from contractors in the past to manage the libraries.
