Chamber of Commerce endorses Measure B

The Agoura/Oak Park/Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce's board of directors has voted to support the "Right to Vote on Traffic Congestion" initiative that will appear on the Thousand Oaks June 3 ballot as Measure B.

Under Measure B, large developments, such as big box stores, would require a vote of the public if found to cause significant traffic congestion.

"Measure B gives the voters of Thousand Oaks the right to protect their quality of life and shape the future of the city as they see fit," said Louis Masry, president of the Chamber.

"The Agoura/Oak Park/ Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce trusts the vision and intelligence of Thousand Oaks voters," Masry said, "to make the right decisions to improve the local economy and protect small business."

The Chamber invited both supporters and opponents of Measure B to make a presentation.

Only the "Yes on Measure B" campaign took part.

The Thousand Oaks-Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce has announced its opposition to Measure B.
