The four board members who voted YES want to give unions a monopoly on Santa Rosa Junior College construction projects: Dorothy Battenfeld, Jordan Burns, Maggie Fishman, and Mariana Martinez. (The Student Trustee Sabrina Rawson also voted YES.)

The three board members who voted NO want to maintain the long-standing policy of fair and open bid competition to ensure the best work at the best price for taxpayers: Don Edgar, Jeff Kunde, and W. Terry Lindley.
