Self Help County - Transportation > Rexroad.com

This story in the Sacrament Bee today is important for Yolo County.

Placer County has decided that it is not politically viable to place a half cent sales tax measure on the ballot to improve roads.

This means that Placer will not have the local share portion to fund transportation projects.

The other thing it shows is political wisdom. I think local governments often put things on the ballot and then walk away. The Placer County Board of Supervisors now can decide if they are willing to work to improve voter base information or not.

When ballot measures lose it often has greater costs than that. It has long term consequences for the local government body.
