I live adjacent to Sacramento County
An audit of our county years ago showed only 7% of the taxes collected for roads were actually spent on roads
A few of us locals qualified a ballot initiative that would merely require 50% of the taxes collected for roads to be spent on roads.
Gathering signatures was a blast as people didn’t want to sign saying it should be 100%
Needless to say we passed the initiative with almost 75% voting YES
This should be done as a State wide initiative.
Side note ... All funds spent for road construction are required to be at prevailing wage.
The “Prevaling rate “ for fork lift operator in the LA area is $60 per hour
Thanks
