Shall it be City policy to use additional sales tax funds resulting from approval of Proposition J to assist low-income residents including seniors, the disabled, children and the homeless?

Summary:
THE WAY IT IS NOW: If San Francisco voters approve Proposition J, the City would increase the sales tax by 0.25% (one-quarter-of-one percent). The City could spend these additional sales tax funds for any public purpose.

THE PROPOSAL: Proposition O is a declaration of policy. If Proposition J (a separate measure on this ballot) passes, this declaration would make it City policy to use the additional 0.25% (onequarter- of-one percent) sales tax to support and expand programs for low-income residents, seniors, the disabled, children and homeless individuals and families. This declaration of policy would be a non-binding recommendation only.

Meaning of Voting Yes/No
A YES vote of this measure means:
If you vote "yes," you want it to be City policy to use the additional 0.25% (one-quarter-of-one percent) sales tax funds, if the voters approve Proposition J, to support and expand programs for low-income residents, seniors, the disabled, children and homeless individuals and families.

A NO vote of this measure means:
If you vote "no," you do not want it to be City policy to use the additional tax funds for these purposes.
