LBR COMMENTARY:
This was why 40% of Long Beach voters voted NO on Measure A, the sales tax hike, despite a $600k campaign for “Yes” and virtually nothing spent to promote “No”…
They simply did not trust the city to spend the money as advertised under current leadership (after all, that $600k campaign didn’t even mention that Measure A was a tax hike..and if they’re not even honest enough to state basic facts….):
