The Facts
Measure E proposes a permanent sales tax increase that will directly impact every household budget. This regressive tax hits working families the hardest, making everyday necessities like groceries and gas more expensive without clear accountability for how funds are spent.
Unlike other measures, Measure E lacks a sunset clause, meaning this tax will continue indefinitely, despite the 5-year expiration. There are no mandatory audits, note vote to extend, or specific spending allocations, creating a blank check for future government budgets.
