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.
