Rebuttal Argument Against Measure G-20 *i.Q .Qi l-Y*f-l"f:RK
IMPORTANT:
READ THE "FINE PRINT" ANDVOTE NO!
TRIPIES THE CIW'S SATES TAX INCREASE by making the existing tax permanent while adding a 1-%
tax hike on top of it, forcing struggling families to pay more for clothes, supplies, and other
necessities.
FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR ANY GOVERNMENT PURPOSE WHATSOEVER. Revenuc fTOM thiS tAX
goes into the city's General Fund and isn't required to be spent on what this measure proposes.
CAN BE USED TO INCREASE SAIARIES. 11 city execs making more than the Governor and 25 others
making more than US Senators can further increase their bloated salaries!
GREATER DEBT. The city's unfunded public pension liability exceeds S1ZS million and climbing with
interest accruing on its pension debt by Sf .f million monthly.
"FOREVER TAX" ELIMINATES FUTURE VOTER APPROVAL. Now, voters get to decide every few
years whether the sales tax is too high. This measure strips that safeguard.
DEGRADES 'PROTECTION OF OPEN SPACE" AS MAJOR CITY GOAI. Despite its high priority among
residents in community surveys, "Acquiring Open Space" is no longer on city's list of spending
priorities.
HURTS MTDDLE-CLASS, SMALL BUSINESSES, AND YOUNG FAMIIIES that are already suffering
while encouraging locals to shop in other cities with lower retail sales taxes.

The city's existing sales tax continues to 2023. Why push new taxes now? Let's give our economy a
chance to recover and then give voters the opportunity to rescind or extend this regressive tax at that
time.
Please join us in voting "NO" on Measure G-20.
