Arguments For Measure E |
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE
Measure E is not an increase in taxes. Measure E authorizes the District to expend the tax dollars Stinson Beach voters already have approved. Measure E has no effect on the tax rate. A YES vote will NOT raise taxes. A NO vote will NOT reduce taxes. A YES vote simply increases the Fire Department's appropriations to equal the existing tax revenue. This enables the District to pay for fire protection and ambulance services. If Measure E fails, the Fire Department budget will have to be cut back by a significant amount. Measure E expires automatically in 4 years and must be resubmitted to the voters. OUR TAX DOLLARS PROVIDE FOR NEEDED SERVICES.
