What types of services can be funded with the additional revenue?
A general sales tax can be used for a wide variety of City services, including: expanding and improving anti-youth violence and anti-gang programs, fixing potholes on streets and roads, improving the ability of the Fire and Police departments to respond to natural disasters and upgrading streets and intersections to improve traffic flow. One benefit of a general sales tax is the City Council would have the discretion to determine priorities as required.
