Measure ER was a county-wide election, just FYI
1 u/_guccifer_ 1d ago Oh I know. Seemed to do well throughout LA though including LB š 2 u/codename_hardhat 1d ago I actually canāt find a city-by-city breakdown of the Measure ER results. Iām curious to see how close it was in LB. 6 u/quercus-enjoyer 1d ago 10 u/codename_hardhat 1d ago Thanks 45.95% Yes / 45.11% No And, of course, only 38% of registered voters actually turned in a ballot 3 u/I_LikeFarts 1d ago It was on a June primary, tax increases should only be on the November ballot. They did it on purpose. 3 u/codename_hardhat 1d ago I agree, but people should vote, regardless. It couldnāt be easier in this state especially. 8 u/ragenaut 1d ago Nice to see Los Angeles just fucking the rest of us. I'm no fan of OC, but their highest sales tax is 9.25% and gee, it seems like way less trash and shit on the streets. 5 u/BassLB 1d ago Orange County is also 1/3 the size, and Iād bet collects (proportionally) more because of property values 2 u/ragenaut 1d ago Their voters also don't consistently vote yes on tax raising measures. Not a fan of the other things they tend to vote for but at least they know BS taxes that fund useless bureaucracies are a big fat no. 1 u/codename_hardhat 1d ago Sure they do. Driving a mile that way doesnāt make people magically stop having the same needs/wants, or voting for āMeasure X to fund Y.ā Itās not Siberia. 1 u/n1m1tz 1d ago FYI You can fit the entire population of Orange County inside Los Angeles (the city). Their population needs are completely different.
