SDCTA Opposes

Click on the Measure to hear our rationale and a link to the policy paper

- Rationale:
  The Association opposes the measure due to its reliance on ballot box budgeting and the regressive nature of parcel taxes, which disproportionately burden low-income taxpayers and could further exacerbate poverty in San Diego.

- Rationale:
  The Association OPPOSES the measure due to its reliance on ballot box budgeting and the regressivity of sales taxes, which unfairly burdens low-income taxpayers who already disproportionately fund transportation infrastructure through fuel taxes, potentially pushing more San Diego households into poverty.

- Rationale:
  The SDCTA recommends OPPOSE as Chula Vista Elementary School District currently has multiple bond programs in progress and the SDCTA was not provided with plans for the District’s housing proposal.

- Rationale:
  The Association OPPOSES as South Bay Union School District has not provided evidence of adopting SDCTA policies and resolutions; has no guarantees of securing a waiver for the proposed bond amounts, which exceed the District’s bonding capacity; and has included a workforce housing component in their proposal with no supporting plans.

- Rationale:
  The Association OPPOSES as Sweetwater Union High School District did not submit substantive materials for review and has not shown evidence of adopting SDCTA policies and resolutions. As a result, the District has not demonstrated facilities needs and has not developed plans that meet the rigorous standards on bond proposals that SDCTA has developed over decades of collective experience.
