Teachers union mailers call Becca Williams a 'MAGA extremist,' while mailers from a PAC that supports her call Cody Petterson a 'pawn' of special interests.
Local San Diego ballot measures could transform the Midway District and how the city handles issues as diverse as trash pickup, labor unions and child care. Here’s a primer.One of those came Wednesday from Rottenstreich, who issued a press release detailing how one of Community Leadership Coalition’s largest donors is Adriana Camberos, a local who was sentenced to 26 months in federal prison for her alleged role in a bogus 5-hour Energy bottle scheme.
Separate from independent expenditures made by PACs, Williams has out-raised and out-spent Petterson in her own campaign, according to county filings. Williams has raised $88,770 and spent $107,482, while Petterson has raised $41,940 and spent $35,416.Petterson and the teachers union said they have been determined to expose to voters Williams’ Republican-leaning views.
The district’s plan is to build 500 units using $226 million of Measure U bond money if it passes, but it’s unclear how many employees would qualify Petterson and the SDEA have also criticized Williams for her stance on vouchers, which are essentially state-funded scholarships for students to attend private and religious K-12 schools rather than public schools. School vouchers are not legal in California and have faced small chances of being allowed here by a liberal-leaning voter population.
Williams said she agrees with the idea of private school vouchers because she thinks families should have more choice in where their kids attend school. Public dollars should “follow the child,” she said, especially if children are not getting a good education or being treated well at their traditional public schools. Williams argues they were not when school districts kept schools closed to in-person learning for prolonged periods earlier in the pandemic.
