GROWTH MEASURES
The resident-generated initiative, Measure Y, continues to pass by a huge margin.  Measure Z, the city-generated measure designed to confuse voters, is passing, but by a much smaller margin.

FAIRVIEW PARK ISSUES
The citizen-generated measure, AA,  is passing with an overwhelming margin.  The city-generated measure, BB, designed to confuse voters, is failing.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUES
Both citizen-generated medical marijuana issues - V and W - are failing badly.  City-generated measure X is passing by a nearly 3,000 vote margin.
