SDCTA Wants to Guide Future Citizens' Initiatives with Concerns on Failed Let's Go SD Petition

Taxpayers Association Agrees With Voters Not Signing “Let’s Go SD” Petition
Sales tax measure would have hit low income communities hardest

The San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA) board of directors formally acknowledged in late June, after debating the merits and challenges of the “Let’s Go SD” sales tax citizens’ initiative that failed to qualify for the ballot, that voters made the right choice not signing the petition. The Association analysis of the measure shows there are a number of governance weaknesses in the proposal, and this incremental sales tax would have ironically hit hardest the very low-income communities the proponents claim to support.
