Quality of Life Measure (New Arena)

[Vitamin K]

Here is some more info about the arena (oops I mean Quality of Life Measure).

The text of the ballot measures is as follows:

Measure Q

COUNTY SALES TAX
Shall the Board of Supervisors levy a ¼ percent transaction and use tax (sales tax) for a maximum of 15 years for general governmental purposes?

Measure R

ADVISORY VOTE ONLY. THIS MEASURE DOES NOT INCREASE TAXES. To enhance cultural and entertainment opportunities and improve quality of life, shall up to 50% of any new voter-approved sales tax be used for a new sports and entertainment facility with remaining amounts used for local priorities such as: road, transit and park improvements; police, sheriff and fire safety enhancements; libraries; after school programs; and arts and cultural facilities/programs?

The actual text of the agreement (Preliminary Term Sheet) signed between the Kings, the City of Sacramento, and the County of Sacramento is available at the link above as a PDF file.

This is being discussed in several places already, so I'm going to close this and sticky it at the top for future reference.

Thanks, Vitamin K!
