Public safety services
For more than a dozen years, the state legislature has been taking local tax dollars that local governments use to provide vital services like fire protection, paramedic response, law enforcement, healthcare, parks and libraries. The State had taken more than $40 billion from cities, counties and special districts in the last 12 years.Without protection against new state raids, it could mean fewer firefighters, fewer law enforcement officers and longer waits at emergency rooms -- or higher local taxes and fees.
Historic Agreement To Protect Local Taxpayers And Vital Local Services
Prop 1A is a historic bipartisan agreement between the Governor, local governments, legislators, public safety officials, healthcare advocates, taxpayers and community leaders. Prop 1A prevents the State Legislature from taking and using local government funds. Prop 1A would keep more of local tax dollars local and would protect funding for vital local services like fire and paramedic response, law enforcement, healthcare, parks, libraries, and transportation.
