Local Ballot Measures
Early results show out of 245,864 ballots counted, 54.5% were against and 45.5% were for the Sacramento County sales tax for transportation projects. Measure A would raise the county’s local sales tax rate by a half-cent to fund projects and services across the region, including building new roads and expanding light rail.
The tax measure would raise about $8.5 billion over 40 years. Measure A requires a simple majority vote to pass.
Early results show out of 67,700 ballots counted, 61% were for and 39% were against the city of Sacramento youth funding measure. If approved, Measure L would require the city to spend the “equivalent” of 40% of the cannabis business tax revenue from the general fund annually on youth programs.
The city estimates about $10 million per year could go to services such as mental health counseling and after school activities. Measure L requires a simple majority vote to pass.
Early results show out of 66,475 ballots counted, 54% were for and 46% were against the measure that would ban homeless encampments from public property. Measure O would require the city of Sacramento to offer available shelter spaces before issuing misdemeanor charges to people living in encampments who refuse to move.
The measure also requires the city to approve hundreds of shelter spaces if it has a budget surplus. But the city has forecasted a multi-million deficit for homeless shelter funding.
If passed by a simple majority, Measure O could go into effect after the city and county sign an agreement outlining services for unhoused people. The city has not announced any such agreement.
