New sales tax proposal for Merced County on November ballot
MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- The Merced County Board of Supervisors agreed unanimously Tuesday to put the Public Safety Stabilization Act Special Sales Tax on the November ballot.
Voters will be asked to approve a 1/2 cent per dollar increase on sales tax for 30 years.
"I think this is more than anything else we've brought forward to this public," Merced County District 3 Supervisor Daron McDaniel said.
The tax would enhance funding for the sheriff's office, fire department, district attorneys office and city public safety departments within the county.
