What is Los Angeles County's Measure W?
A Forever Parcel Tax
No Commitment to Projects or Objectives
Overburdensome Re-Certification Credit Process
Inaccurate Assessment of Impermeable Surface Area & Cost
A Blank Check with No Promises
VOTE NO: Measure W – Los Angeles Region’s Public Health and Safe, Clean Water Program - OPPOSE
Formerly known as the Safe, Clean Water Program (stormwater parcel tax), Measure W is disguised as a “plan” to protect and improve water quality; capture rain/stormwater to increase safe drinking water supplies and prepare for future droughts. Don’t be fooled; Measure W is not a plan at all. Measure W is a forever parcel tax with no commitments to any projects or objectives, is based on inaccurate calculations of impermeable surface area & cost, and will raise housing cost on LA County residents who are experiencing a housing affordability and homeless crisis. If adopted by votes, Measure W would add a new forever parcel tax of 2.5¢ per square foot of impermeable area, raising approximately $300,000,000 annually. Measure W is a blank check with no promises and will hurt local homeowners and business. Vote no on Measure W.
