Yes on ‘A’

After studying the condition of our roads and what Measure A claims it will do, I’ve decided I’m voting in favor of Measure A. There is no question how badly our roads need fixing. The cost only increases exponentially every year we wait.

This is a quarter cent sales tax with a 5-year sunset. There are yearly audits in place so we can easily track how the money is being spent. Supervisors have said this money will be spent on roads and transit needs. Have you ever known an elected official to voluntarily set them self up to be caught in an un-kept promise? That’s not very likely. When you consider the facts; our roads are in a terrible state of disrepair, our elected officials have said the money will go to fix them, there’s a way to hold our elected officials accountable and it’s only a 5 year tax. I don’t see how we can not support Measure A. Considering how bad things have gotten, it’s the only right thing to do.
