Santa Clara County fends off legal challenge to sales tax increase (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A court ruling invalidates a lawsuit that claimed Santa Clara County incorrectly applied an emergency clause to Measure A that allowed the county to put the sales tax increase on the ballot as a general tax. California’s Sixth District Court of Appeal on Sept. 23 affirmed the county Board of Supervisors’ declaration that the county was in an emergency due to federal budget cuts, enabling supervisors to put a measure on last November’s ballot to increase the sales tax by five-eighths of a cent.

State Prop. 43 aims to raise tax measure threshold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A proposition going before California voters in November could make it more difficult for local governments and agencies to get funding from tax measures by raising the approval threshold.

Proposition 40 — a one-time 5% tax to be imposed on roughly 200 state residents whose net worth exceeded $1 billion at the start of this year — needs to receive more votes than two countermeasures, Proposition 41 or 42, to be enacted. If it passes, projected funding would be about $100 billion over five
Santa Clara County sees challenges for 5-year homelessness plan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Santa Clara County is charting how it plans to tackle homelessness over the next five years in one of its most challenging periods. The county’s next iteration of its Community Plan to End Homelessness, a template to guide its priorities through 2030, will focus on four key strategies: homelessness prevention, housing retention, increasing services for people on the streets and investing in those with lived experience. Building on what the county has accomplished over the past five years in hous
