Arguments

"How do you feel about the way they’re spending the money you’ve already given them for 10 years since you agreed to a TEMPORARY sales tax increase? And then they made it a permanent tax... Where were your tax dollars really spent? They weren’t spent where they were promised. They spent your money on salaries, benefits and huge pensions for police officers and firefighters. 73% of your City’s $110 million general fund, your tax money, goes to police and fire. Shouldn’t more of your taxes be spent on things that make your life and the lives of all Vallejoans better?", in opposition to Measure G (Learn more)
