Marin IJ: Bay Area Planners to Poll Residents on Transportation Tax
“We are supportive of a measure to go forward,” Marin County Supervisor Stephanie Moulton-Peters, a member of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, said at its special meeting on Monday. “I have always supported a 10-year measure, just trying to get closer to the problem at hand, but I’m sympathetic to other organizations that may need capital projects to get the votes they need to pass.”

Gavin Newsom said this week that California will step in and provide rebates to eligible residents who buy electric vehicles if President-elect Donald J.

Read MoreMarin IJ: County Lands $26 Million Windfall Via ‘Higher than Expected Revenue’
The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates relatively high as a means of cooling inflation, which spiked to 8% in 2022.
