In plain language

A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.

St. Lucie County asks voters to approve a half-cent sales tax for ten years. The money would fund projects to improve local roads, reduce traffic congestion, add sidewalks, and improve local water quality, including the Lagoon. It would also reduce neighborhood flooding and seek matching funds. An independent citizens committee would review spending to ensure dollars are spent fairly across Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, St. Lucie Village and St. Lucie County. A YES vote approves the tax. A NO vote means the county does not levy it.
