Board of Supervisors approves adding parks sale tax measure to November ballot
The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors today took the first step toward asking voters to consider extending the local sales tax that supports regional and city parks across Sonoma County. If passed by voters in November, the proposed ballot measure would continue the existing one-eighth-cent sales tax Sonoma County voters enacted as Measure M in 2018. The measure would not increase the current tax rate or create an additional tax.
