Santa Barbara’s former City Fire Chief recounts what backers of the 2017 sales tax increase initiative did and did not pledge to voters, as the measure becomes embroiled in current campaign politics.
Hooray Chief! Thank you for laying this out as you have. It illustrates the value of institutional knowledge as newly elected public servants come and go.
AND THANK YOU SB Newsmakers for being there so that these issues can be aired!
Thank you, Former Fire Chief McElroy for your comments you expressed in the article addressed THE PROMISE OF MEASURE C. I agree with you and hope the present and future city council members will remember what the funds of Measure C are to be used for.
Thanks again, Anthony Dal Bello, a concerned native of the Santa Barbara
