Bond Measure Guidelines and Guardrails
Background
The Coalition of Sensible Taxpayers was approached by community leaders with the idea of jointly developing a set of guidelines to ensure local bond measures are fair, responsible, and accountable. Through this collaboration, we have jointly developed a framework for local governmental entities to utilize in crafting responsible proposals for raising revenue, for voters to evaluate the merits of each bond measure that they are asked to approve, and for subsequent oversight to be effective in ensuring the funds are spent as promised.
