Metro's Proposed Sales Tax Measure, Measure T
AB 2321 (Feuer) is a bill currently in the legislature that allows Metro to put on the November ballot a half-cent (.5%) sales tax increase for voters to approve. Metro supplemented this bill by releasing a draft expenditure plan for its proposed half-cent sales tax increase on July 16th. Metro approved the measure to be put on the ballot, 9 to 2, on July 24th. The COG was not in support of Measure T as it stood on July 24th due to the inequity of alloted funds.
On July 28th, John Fasana, The SGV Representative on the Metro Board, wrote a letter addressing some of the issues. Click here to read the letter, without attached amendments.
