To the Editor:
King City in Bloom urges you to vote yes on Measure T on Nov. 5. This is a 1/2-cent tax on sales that will apply to travelers as well as residents. In that way, the cost is spread to the people who buy in our town.
By adding the 1/2 cent to our sales tax base, we will help to increase the city budget by an estimated $1.2 million per year for 12 years.
King City has worked hard in the last few years and the downtown improvements are just one example. However, these are “grant” funds that are drying up. With this extra 1/2 cent, we will be able to continue to make improvements to our city.
King City in Bloom is excited to know about the plans for the repairs to the recreation building, upgrades to restroom renovations, golf course roof and clubhouse repair and a much-needed additional person added to the public works staff, plus more.
Please join us in voting yes on Measure T when you receive your ballot.
Allie Cullen
President, King City in Bloom
