In plain language
Measure Q would create a new 1-cent sales tax in Diamond Bar. The money would pay for emergency response and Sheriff protection. It would help keep neighborhoods and public areas safe and clean. It would help prevent property crimes and burglaries, and reduce wildfire risk. It would help the city prepare for and respond to wildfires and other disasters. It would also fix roads and potholes and pay for other city services. A YES vote creates this tax. It would continue until voters end it, and would require audits and public spending reports. A NO vote does not create the tax.
