In 2000, following a conflict with Mayor Houston and developers of the "West Dublin Hills", Morgan King and David Bewley began an initiative known as Measure M. The objective was to prevent the Dublin Hills from becoming too overwhelmed with housing that had been promised to voters would not be built on their preserved open space. Measure M won in every precinct in Dublin and on the absentee ballots.

Famous quotes containing the word measure:
“Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Letters are above all useful as a means of expressing the ideal self; and no other method of communication is quite so good for this purpose.... In letters we can reform without practice, beg without humiliation, snip and shape embarrassing experiences to the measure of our own desires....”
—Elizabeth Hardwick (b. 1916)
