Whether you are heading to the polls on Election Day, Tuesday, November 2, or plan to cast your ballot early, please vote YES ON REFERENDUM 1, Amending the Lease of City Property: Holocaust Memorial Site. Your yes vote will ensure the future of Holocaust education for the next generation at no cost to taxpayers.
