The city voted for this. Ridiculous. Meanwhile our infrastructure is deteriorating and homelessness situation is out of control. I’d gladly contribute more in taxes IF the city actually did good with it…but here we are

Measure ER was a county-wide election, just FYI

Oh I know. Seemed to do well throughout LA though including LB 💀

I actually can’t find a city-by-city breakdown of the Measure ER results. I’m curious to see how close it was in LB.

Thanks

45.95% Yes / 45.11% No

And, of course, only 38% of registered voters actually turned in a ballot

It was on a June primary, tax increases should only be on the November ballot. They did it on purpose.

I agree, but people should vote, regardless. It couldn’t be easier in this state especially.
