Monrovia's State Senator Proposes Making Taxes Easier to Pass

A few days ago State Senator Carol Liu, who represents Monrovia, introduced a bill before the State Senate to make it easier to pass taxes for transportation projects.

The bill would lower the percentage of voters required to pass a tax from two-thirds to 55 percent. Here's the gist:

"This measure would provide that the imposition, extension, or increase of a special tax by a local government for the purpose of providing funding for local transportation projects requires the approval of 55% of its voters voting on the proposition. The measure would also make conforming and technical, nonsubstantive changes."
