Rocklin Adds Two Tax Measures to November Ballot

Rocklin, California, has placed two tax measures on the November ballot: a half-cent sales tax increase and a $288 million school bond. The sales tax would raise $8 million annually for public safety and services, while the bond funds campus renovations.

Voter approval rates for local tax measures dropped to 57% in the June primary, below the typical 70%, signaling possible voter fatigue due to affordability challenges. Local governments have until early August to add more measures.
