This two year Citizen’s Initiative process was brought for and by the people of Dana Point to first qualify Measure H as a ballot measure and then to support a campaign against well-funded PACs, including “Save Public Parking, No on H Yes on I” and Dana Point Taxpayers Association.īetty Hill, President of Dana Point Residents for Responsible Development, commented as the election results trickled in late last night, “The people of Dana Point voted to protect Dana Point’s charming village atmosphere while promoting responsible growth and redevelopment program in our downtown area.

With 24 of 24 precincts reported by the Orange County Registrar of Voters, preliminary results show that Measure H passed with 59.3% voting Yes.
