City of Tucson voters will be asked on Tuesday, March 11, to consider a new, temporary half-cent sales tax for the next 10 years to fund a safer and more vibrant Tucson. If Proposition 414 is approved, the City’s sales tax rate would increase from 2.6% to 3.1% and generate a projected $800 million over those 10 years. The revenue would be split into five distinct categories, with 65.75% allocated to public safety investments and 34.25% allocated to community resiliency investments.

There will be a town hall on the proposition in Ward 2 at Udall Park Recreation Center (7200 E Tanque Verde) on February 12 from 5:30 - 7:30.
