Measure W sales tax allocation
Antioch voters OK'd a sales tax for safety and fun stuff, but the city's now funneling way more cash to the police than they said they would. Wondering where your tax dollars are actually going?
Sales Tax Measure
Antioch is considering a big sales tax jump this November – it could double what you pay at the register! The good news? It's only for 20 years and there will be a citizen group watching the spending.
Sales Tax Increase
Antioch is looking to hike sales tax by a full cent this November. If voters say yes, it could bring in $14 million a year, mostly for public safety, but future councils could redirect those funds.
Measure W sales tax
Antioch's mayor is pushing for a 'Yes' vote on Measure W, a sales tax increase. He argues it's needed to fix the city's money woes and could fund youth programs and infrastructure upgrades.
Transit Tax Signature Gathering
