CITY CLERK
We have never experienced a threat as menacing to our lives and livelihoods as this pandemic.
But time and again, we have seen San Luis Obispo residents pull together to solve daunting
challenges.
Measure G-20 is a necessary step forward in SLO's recovery. This sales -tax increase keeps us
in line with our regional competitors while generating at least $20 million annually for vital
economic and community programs to benefit all residents.
As concerned residents and your neighbors, here's why we urge YES on Measure G-20:
SELF RELIANCE, LOCAL CONTROL: We cannot count on Washington or Sacramento
to help us; we must rely on ourselves.
LONG-TERM BENEFITS: Measure G-20 will support much needed investment in open
space, water security, road improvements and climate action.
HEALTH & SAFETY: It's essential to improve emergency response times and keep our
community healthy and safe.
HELP BUSINESS AND EMPLOYEES: Measure G-20 will invest in local businesses so
they can survive, expand and increase local jobs.
HOMELESSNESS: The pandemic has worsened our housing and homelessness crisis;
Measure G-20 will support affordable housing and mental -health services.
QUALITY OF LIFE: San Luis Obispo's quality of life is not an accident. It's the product
of our residents' strength, compassion and resiliency, and it requires continuous
investment.
ACCOUNTABILITY: Measure G-20 requires an independent oversight committee,
annual audits and community input to ensure wise spending. If the City Council fails to
manage it responsibly, we will vote to end this tax.
VISITORS PAY FAIR SHARE: Historically, visitors have paid more than 70% of sales
tax revenue, thus paying their fair share.
As voters with different political perspectives and economic interests, we are united in our
enthusiastic support of this one -and -a -half percent sales tax.
Please join us and vote YES on Measure G-20.
