The recall and Measure E are directly tied to each other

An outside special interest from Long Beach is forcing both of these elections items. This special interest has spent over $500,000 to get these two initiatives onto the ballot. We are not doing what they want, therefore they are trying to force us to accept what they want.

Do we have a cannabis ordinance?

Yes!

We have a cannabis ordinance that is in place. The current ordinance took years to craft, with thousands of comments from the public.

If Measure E passes, everything will be thrown out.

How we got here

Catalyst started to gather signatures for their initiative in the Summer of 2021. They qualified for the ballot in January 2022, spending nearly $200,000.

They immediately started to threaten the City Council to get their way. Council member Obagi pushed back against them and they took their anger out on him.

The City Council has moved forward with a resident-focused Cannabis Ordinance.

Who is Catalyst?

They are a Long Beach cannabis company opening up retail cannabis locations in California.

They have been known to intimidate Cities through lawsuits, voter initiatives and social media attacks. Some cities fold, Redondo will not fold.

They filed virtually the same initiative in Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach and El Segundo.

All beach city Councils are saying “NO” to the initiative.

How is the recall and Measure E related?

After a heated Council discussion in January 2022, Elliot Lewis the CEO of Catalyst publicly started to talk about starting a recall against Council member Obagi.

Elliot talked about “leaving bodies on the floor” to get what they wanted, and Redondo accept their cannabis initiative.

Then, they started dumping over $300,000 into their recall initiative.

Do Police or Fire Unions Endorse Measure E?

No!

If you read anywhere that Police or Fire Unions are endorsing Measure E, THAT IS A LIE!

The “yes on Measure E” campaign is desperate. They are saying anything they can to get people to vote their way.

Will Measure E bring in $2,000,000?

No!

Measure E wipes out -all- fees that would have gone to the City.

In fact, the proponents did a bait and switch while getting signatures for this ballot measure.

They tried to claim they were gathering signatures for a tax measure as well.

Not one signature was turned in!

Who is Elliot Lewis from Catalyst?

Yes, he is trying to create our laws.

Yes, he trying to choose our next Council Member.

TOP four reasons to say no to measure E

Here are the top four reasons to say NO to Measure E and the recall. There are many more, these are the highlights.

Local laws, local control

The City Council of Redondo Beach has already crafted our own resident-focused ordinance. This ordinance came from resident input after many community meetings. Read all about the local ordinance here.

More reasons to say NO

Fair licensing, transparent process

Measure E favors the Long Beach special interest. They are trying to buy this election and put themselves in the driver’s seat. So far, they have spent almost $200,000 to get this onto the ballot. Another $100,000 is committed to pass this ballot measure.
More reasonso to say NO

Revenue for the City

Measure E has no revenue streams going to the City to pay for Police, education, or City services. In fact, a tax initiative was proposed as part of this ballot measure, but they never went out to get signatures for the tax.

More reasons to say NO

Responsive government, future updates

Having our own locally tailored laws allows the City to be responsive to the ever-changing world of retail cannabis. Our current local laws would be overridden by Measure E.

More reasonso to say NO

Want to know who is behind this?

Yes, you won’t believe that these are the actual social media posts by those that are pushing Measure E.

Almost out of an alternative universe movie, except this is real life. Catalyst is trying to impose its cannabis laws to override our local laws. Years of work and hundreds of thousands of dollars will be thrown out the window if Measure E wins.
