Voters who want to learn more about the City of Tacoma’s plan to place a proposal on the ballot in November to raise money for street repairs should attend a series of informational meetings scheduled to begin later this month.

According to City of Tacoma officials, Proposition 1, a ballot measure slated for the Nov. 5 election, asks voters to consider a proposal that would authorize the City of Tacoma to levy an additional two per cent tax on natural gas, electric and phone company earnings for the sole purpose of funding basic Tacoma-wide neighborhood street improvements and safety upgrades would generate an estimated $10 to $11 million in sustainable annual funds for the basic maintenance of neighborhood streets, bridges and safety improvements.
