Los Alamitos Residents

Vote NO Measure Y!

• Friends and neighbors have lost their jobs.
• Unemployment is now over 14%
• This tax is on toilet paper, Lysol disinfectant, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer...
• The price of food, meat, store goods, and medical expenses are all skyrocketing!
• Bad time for a tax increase!

Instead of taxing necessities we need spending reform to eliminate the need for extra taxes so we will have even more money for 911, neighborhood patrols, crime prevention, parks, streets, sidewalks, senior and youth programs.

Los Alamitos Businesses

Vote NO Measure Y!

• Businesses are taking out loans just to stay open.
• Higher prices hurts our locally-owned retailers and restaurants.
• People will just shop elsewhere making things even worse.
• Don't add taxes to toilet paper, Lysol disinfectant, Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer...

Businesses are closing forever, some are allowed to partially open, and some are not allowed to open at all. Let's don't make things worse for them.

Save Money, Live Better

Vote NO Measure Y!

• Replace the OC Fire Authority. Placentia did this and is expected to save $28 million over ten years.
• Cap city employee salaries. Many are earning over $200k per year!
• Eliminate lifetime pensions. Enroll city employees in social security, 401k, and IRA plans just like the private sector offers.

We all want what is best for Los Alamitos but a sales tax is not the answer. We can do better at reducing our biggest expenses.

When We Win

Vote NO Measure Y!

• Support those that are out of work.
• Support employment opportunities.
• Support our locally-owned retailers and restaurants.

Increasing taxes without major spending reform is like signing up for more credit cards when you have a spending problem. With spending reforms we can save about $3 million or more a year and create a surplus almost immediately without raising more taxes. During difficult times like these we need to hold onto every penny of our own money.

If They Win

Vote NO Measure Y!

• For 30 years we've been paying tens of millions of dollars for the Utility Users Tax.
• Giving city hall more of your money will not solve their overspending problem.
• If this tax passes it will reward bad behavior and can be used for paying outrageous salaries, increases in pension benefits, excessive overtime, etc.

This tax is a general tax that goes into the general fund. Don’t be misled. It will not be earmarked for a specific purpose like they want you to believe. A sales tax increase creates higher prices and hurts locally-owned retailers. People will just shop elsewhere making city hall's problems even worse.
