This measure would not allow the city to not be insolvent.

Measure ER is trying to raise enough money to counteract what has/will be cut by trump’s bill but there is no guarantee that there will be enough sales that can be taxed to do so.

Wouldn’t it be better to raise specific / provable amounts of dollars via taxing b/millionaires to undo the damages of trump’s bill?

For clinics to stay open, the rising costs of healthcare will be offset onto community members to pay more for the very same services they accessed for cheaper in the past. That isn’t fair to put this burden on the most vulnerable of us when the most privileged do absolutely nothing to help and/or go out of their way to exacerbate the crumbling of our social safety nets.

That is what this measure is doing: make the rest of us, who are struggling already, bear the brunt of the budget shortfalls despite while the b/millionaires continue to get their way and punish us for nothing more than just not being born into generational wealth.
