Community advocate, Ed Wehan, speaks in favor of Ventura Measure O. The Ventura City Council has placed revenue measure O on the ballot for the November 8, 2016 general municipal election. If adopted by the voters, the measure would increase the sales tax rate by one-half percent within the city limits.
The measure would make local funding available to address vital City programs and services, such as:
* Protect local beaches, rivers and coastal waters from pollution and debris
* Upgrade and repair storm drains to protect local water quality
Repair streets and sidewalks and fix potholes
* Maintain fire and police emergency response and keep all existing fire stations open
* Increase intervention programs to address homelessness
Make necessary seismic repairs and upgrades to bridges and overpasses
* Improve services for seniors, veterans and our youth
* Provide additional local resources for the City police department to keep Ventura neighborhoods safe
