No on A, Yes on B
No on C, Yes on D
B and D were added by the people (they got 10k+ signatures to add them). The Council got mad and added their own (A and C) as a poison pill, because if both pass then they cancel each other out basically. So if you want to vote against the Council, vote per above.
Definitely no on B. I spoke to a conservative economist who studied under Milton Friedman, is very skeptical of new taxes and he thinks it's ill-advised. Also it could impact the County's bond rating. Vote no.on A and B to keep the status quo, which requires a unanimous vote of the Council to increase property tax revenues over inflation, a power which they rarely use.
