  • In the end it was close, but the failure of the Measure E one cent sales tax increase in San Diego means the city is staring down a gaping quarter billion-dollar deficit next year
  • and possibly ongoing shortfalls beyond.

The article from KPBS discusses a proposed measure in San Diego that would increase the sales tax by half a cent to fund neighborhood improvements. This measure, if passed, aims to address issues like street repairs, park maintenance, and other community enhancements. The initiative has sparked a debate among residents and officials about the necessity of the tax increase, its potential impact on local businesses, and how the funds would be allocated. Proponents argue that the additional revenue is crucial for maintaining and improving the city's infrastructure, while opponents are concerned about the economic burden on citizens and the efficiency of fund management. The measure requires a simple majority to pass and would need to be approved by voters in an upcoming election.
