In plain language
Measure G would add a 1-cent sales tax across Sutter County. Sutter County, Yuba City, and Live Oak worked on it together. The ballot question says the money would help keep enough drinking water and prevent a fire station from closing. It would also go to fire and medical emergency response, sheriff and police patrols, road repair, local businesses, and other general purposes. The ballot question says the state cannot take this money. The tax would last until voters end it. It would require audits, citizens' oversight, and public spending reports. A YES vote approves the tax. A NO vote means the tax is not adopted.
