Measure A on the Nov. 4 poll in Santa Clara County would elevate the gross sales tax by five-eighths of a cent.

The measure would push the gross sales tax price to not less than 9.75% within the county, with increased charges in Los Gatos (9.875%), San Jose (10%), Milpitas (10%) and Campbell (10.5%).

The rise would elevate $330 million a yr, in keeping with county officers.  It may very well be used for any legit authorities goal, however county officers say they plan to make use of the funds solely to offset federal well being care funding cuts.

Sure: Retired county docs Sara Cody and Dennis Low argue that Measure A is required to offset the federal cuts, particularly the lack of Medicaid funds. With out the tax improve, well being care providers might be minimize and a few county hospitals could not survive.

No:  Pat Waite, president of Residents for Fiscal Duty, says the county has a historical past of profligate spending. It ought to use present sources responsibly, effectively and successfully earlier than asking for extra taxes.
