  • Supervisors Have Opened the Door to Major State and Local Tax Increases 


    April 15th, the Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve ‘in concept’ a proposed regional sales tax increase (SB 63), introduced by Scott Weiner and co-authored by Assembly member Catherine Stefani (D-San Francisco). This measure seeks to implement a .5% - 1% sales tax on the ballot in 2026, on top of the already high sales tax San Franciscans pay. The aim? To bail out MUNI and further subsidize BART without any requirement to fix what's broken.

    If passed, San Francisco could potentially carry the largest share of this tax—permanently—despite SFMTA's failure to demonstrate fiscal responsibility or basic operational competence.

    This will cost each San Franciscan a minimum of $500 per year, most people will pay an extra $2,000+ per year.  On top of our already high taxes.

    AND - on top of that, San Francisco is considering it's own ballot measure to support SFTMA - we are all in on MUNI, but 6000 employees are not required to run our fairly small transit system, they need to significantly cut their budget prior to asking us for an additional parcel tax, which will cost average San Franciscans $128 to $1,120 extra each year.

    And for what?  To fund the deficit.

    More taxes. Still no accountability.
