Measure DD repeal Public Comment by Don Slater
Measure DD ballot measures
Measure DD ‐ the 1% additional sales tax
Measure DD has robbed the people of 33 million dollars
And over the next 5 years
It is projected to take another 56 million from the people
Keep this money in your pocket
Buy yourself something you want or need
Improve your quality of life
Repeal measure DD
It’s simple ‐ ‐ ‐ Vote YES to repeal DD
Don’t believe the scare tactics
The City of Menifee got along just fine for 8 years
Without Measure DD
Menifee shares a border with 3 cities
Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake and Perris
Who do not have the additional tax
Don’t be fooled by the propaganda
It is property tax revenues and basic sales tax revenues
That pay for police, fire, 9‐1‐1
And all essential services
Measure DD was cleverly marketed to mislead the voters
Don’t be fooled again
The city of Menifee needs to stop wasting money foolishly
2
And nothing could be more foolish
Than a silly attempt to confuse voters with a totally
Unnecessary, money wasting, 2nd measure on the ballot
Give credit to the mayor for not falling for the Queen’s Gambit
Now, let’s hope the other council members come to their senses
////////////
Bottom line, the City did lose up to 25 MILLION in Vehicle License Fees
When blank blank Jerry Brown blanked the cities of
Menifee, Wildomar, Eastvale, and Jurupa Valley
So far, Measure DD has been a 33 MILLION dollar windfall for Menifee
Therefore, Menifee is now 8 MILLION dollars better‐off then expected
Measure DD is no longer needed
Eastvale and Jurupa Valley do not have the additional tax
Repeal Measure DD…
