Measure AA  Passes!

Picture
From the San Francisco Chronicle, June 8, 2016:

The Bay Area’s nine-county parcel tax to raise $500 million for the bay’s shoreline passed with 69 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary election. “This is a fantastic result and this is really a tribute to the people in the Bay Area who love the bay,” Executive Director David Lewis of Save the Bay said Wednesday. “It was challenging to get the word out to that many voters but the Bay is something we all share.

I think voters are ready to hear when they think the bay needs help and in this case they voted overwhelmingly to share in the cost of making the bay healthy. That’s really encouraging.”


Friends of the San Francisco Estuary supported Measure AA. Board President Mitch Avalon says, "Measure AA will help fund essential projects throughout San Francisco Bay that will improve habitat and water quality, projects that Friends of the San Francisco Estuary have been supporting for many years.”
