Sacramento Utility Users Tax, Measure O, 2008
From Ballotpedia
A Sacramento Utility Users Tax, also known as Measure O, appeared on the November 4, 2008 ballot in Sacramento County, California, for voters in the City of Sacramento.
Measure O reduces the existing utility user tax rate from 7.5% to 7%, and expands the tax to more items.
Measure O was approved with 64.54% of voters in favor.
The question voters were asked to consider was:
- "Shall the Utility User Tax ordinance be amended to reduce the tax on communications users from 7.5% to 7.0%; assure that users of current and future communications technologies be treated fairly; preserve funding for essential municipal services like police, fire protection and youth programs; continue providing tax refunds for low-income residents and requiring annual independent financial audits; and prohibit any tax-rate increase without voter approval?"
