On January 22, 2014, the North Bay Business Journal began an on-line “Pulse Poll” asking readers to vote on whether they supported a proposed government mandate for construction contractors to sign a Project Labor Agreement with unions as a condition of working on Sonoma County projects over $10 million. The number of votes accelerated rapidly as word of the poll spread throughout the country. Tweets were sent from union organizations as far away as Philadelphia and New Hampshire urging people to vote. Then on January 27 the North Bay Business Journal suspended the poll and said the system in place to ensure a single vote from a single browser was compromised. Nonetheless, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors approved the Project Labor Agreement policy on a 4-0 vote.
