Placer County Votes on Measure B Tax Increase

In the recent election, Placer County residents voted on Measure B, which proposes a half-cent sales tax aimed at improving road and highway infrastructure over 30 years, expected to raise approximately $1.58 billion. Preliminary results show 63% voter support within Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville, with funds directed towards major highway projects and local road improvements. Meanwhile, Auburn is considering Measure F, which proposes increasing the transient occupancy tax from 8% to 10%, expected to generate an additional $162,000 annually for city services. Election results are being updated regularly, with vote-by-mail ballots counted until November 12 and final certification by December 13. These measures are part of efforts to address traffic congestion and enhance public services in one of Northern California's fastest-growing regions.
