Voters to Decide on Parcel Tax for Climate Change

The nine Bay Area counties will jointly pay into a fund to remediate the effects of climate change if a ballot measure passes voter muster in the June 7 primary. Measure AA would raise about $500 million over 20 years to pay for bay restoration, flood protection, and other issues related to the bay. The money would come from a $12 annual parcel tax on commercial and residential property.
