The No on Measure G campaign would like to thank the voters of San Diego County for rejecting SANDAG’s proposed half-cent sales tax increase. Despite being outspent by over $2.5 million, this grassroots effort prevailed because of the determination of elected officials, community stakeholders, and most importantly, the residents of San Diego County. This victory sends a clear message that San Diegans will no longer accept promises without accountability.
