July 11, 2024 (La Mesa) -- Here’s Why Your Voice Matters, La Mesa.
The La Mesa City Council voted unanimously on July 9 to let residents vote in November on whether to continue the ¾ cent sales tax extension used to fund public services. Prop L, enacted in 2008, is set to expire in 2029.
According to a city press release sent by the city after the vote, the Prop L sales tax contributes approximately $12 million annually in local funding. Without Prop L funding, the City would need to make significant reductions to public safety services and maintenance of streets, sidewalks, parks, storm drains and other infrastructure, the release states.
