I recently read that Measure A (funding for transportation projects in Santa Clara County) money is still being held up while the court decides whether the money can be collected due to the fact that less than 2/3 of the voters approved it. I think it "passed" with about 60/40 percent. Prop. 13 rules require 2/3 voter approval to collect new taxes. I have a question that someone might be able to answer. My question is this: Last year the "temporary" earthquake tax was voted permanent to provide funds for law enforcement. This tax passed even though less than 2/3 votes were in the affirmative. Can this tax be challenged as the measure A tax is being challenged? If not, why? Any light shed is appreciated.
