Should you vote 'yes' or 'no' on Prop. 479? Here is what you need to know.
PHOENIX — Coming to the ballot this November, Maricopa County citizens will vote to either continue or discontinue a bill that takes some of the sales tax and puts it towards transportation projects for the next 20 years.
That bill is Proposition 479.
For the last 40 years, there's been a portion of the county's citizen sales tax going to freeway, road, and transit projects. Prop. 479 is a continuation of this already existing dedicated half-cent sales tax that would last until 2045.
“This is the funding source that’s really been instrumental in our major regional infrastructure investments," assistant executive director of Maricopa Association of Governments John Bullen said.
