WE VOTED SALES TAX FOR ROADS
2004 BALLOT TITLE AND SUMMARY
DID NOT MENTION WILDLIFE FUNDING!
https://sdmmp.com/msp_doc.php
Proposition A 2004 TRANSNET EXTENSION
"The San Diego County half-penny sales tax was originally approved by voters in November 1987 and was first levied April 1, 1988. To date, the tax has generated more than $2 billion for transportation projects throughout the county. It is expected to generate $3.3 billion bythe time it is set to expire on March 31, 2008.."

THE HABITAT PRESERVATION SUPPOSED TO BE IN CONJUNTION WITH FREEWAY EXPANSION; NOT JUST FUNDING HABITAT BY ITSELF!
Written Communications – Curry
Public Comments – Received 12/12/23
"Voters in 2004 approved an extension of TransNet, a half-cent sales tax to fund freeway widenings, light rail expansion, habitat preservation, bike lanes and road improvements across the county. The tax went into effect four years later. So far, SANDAG has collected 25 percent less revenue under TransNet than it promised voters on the ballot." https://voiceofsandiego.org/2016/10/24/sandags-last-tax-hike-is-billions-short-and-measure-a- could-be-too/
"This is now the third instance in which SANDAG either knowingly overstated how much money it could collect to pay for transportation projects, or understated how much those projects would cost to complete."

"The board did not decide who would conduct the investigation. It directed its executive board – a subset of elected leaders from around the county – to identify a few options and bring them back to the full board for final approval."
