A ton of local tax, bond measures are headed for the ballot

Haney Hong looks at the potential November ballot in San Diego County with a sense of awe and considerable concern.

The president and CEO of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association said 12 municipal tax measures and 19 school bonds may go before voters across various local jurisdictions, so far. Only one of the proposals will be on the countywide ballot — a half-cent sales tax proposal for transit-oriented transportation projects.

So, while the overall scope may seem daunting, that probably won’t be the case for most individual voters, who may face the transit tax and maybe a city and/or school board proposal.

The exact number of ballot measures won’t be determined for several weeks, after boards and councils finalize their plans and the county Registrar of Voters determines whether initiatives qualify for the ballot.
