John Maltbie, County Manager, wants to know how you'd like to see the funds from Measure A — the half-cent sales tax — be spent in our communities.

San Mateo County voters in November expressed their confidence in the County government by approving Measure A, a half-cent sales tax that begins April 1. 

On what critical needs and services should the funds be spent? John Maltbie, County Manager, wants to know.

Is it improving public safety or providing health care for our most vulnerable residents? What about after-school literacy programs, accessible parks, safe routes to schools? The ballot measure stated that Measure A funds will help to restore, protect and enhance community services in San Mateo County.
