I am looking forward to enjoying our new town center as soon as possible and have no compunction about using public funds if indeed it will help finish the project. They have done an amazing job.

I guess this is an example of some cognitive dissonance. There is no such thing as using public funds without the Atherton taxpayer footing the bill. But, when asked for several years now to voluntarily do so (via donations), the effort failed? Why would an equivalent ballot measure have different results? It likely will, but amounts to how the questions are being phrased as in essence, it's really the same question.
