WHY MEASURE G-20 DESERVES YOUR YES VOTE
Measure G-20 is a proposal to increase SLO City’s current sales tax by a net 1% - a mere penny on the dollar.
A YES vote on Measure G-20 is a vote to secure San Luis Obispo’s long-term health, providing approximately $20 million annually to preserve and enhance our quality of life by helping accomplish the following objectives:
- Support economic recovery, retain local businesses and assist with job creation
- Protect fire, community safety and emergency health response
- Ensure wildfire and natural disaster preparedness
- Repair potholes, reduce traffic congestion, expand bike lanes
- Protect creeks from pollution, preserve open space and natural areas
- Fund homeless prevention programs
- Support local nonprofits that assist our most vulnerable neighbors
Because visitors pay 70% of sales tax revenue, Measure G-20 is the fairest and best way to sustain our city’s health without overburdening residents.
While we have different political perspectives and economic interests, we are united in our devotion to San Luis Obispo, and believe Measure G-20 is essential to preserving SLO’s quality of life.
Please join us and vote YES on Measure G-20, to secure San Luis Obispo’s long-term health.
