Proposed sales tax discussion
San Jose – The County Board of Supervisors has scheduled an extra evening session to allow maximum participation of County residents in a discussion of a potential sales tax ballot measure in June. The meeting will be held on Tuesday Feb. 28 at 6:30pm in the Board Chambers at the County Government Center 70 West Hedding St., San Jose.
The County is facing a continuing structural budget deficit due to State impacts and the local economy. A structural budget deficit means that the current methods used to finance county government are inadequate to cover the cost to maintain the current level of services. At the meeting the Board will decide whether to place the measure on the ballot and if so, whether it will be for quarter-cent or half cent. Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting.
