Because of the ETA's membership support, the ETA has helped to uncover millions of dollars worth of government waste and saved taxpayers from over a million dollars in unnecessary costs. Continued support of the ETA ensures the association can remain vigilant and ready to campaign in support of Encinitas residents.
ETA is staffed entirely by volunteers and modest membership dues ($10) are used predominately for mailings and early campaign paraphernalia, such as signs.
