Kern County Voters to Consider Sales Tax Increase for CALM Zoo
What happened
Kern County voters will be asked to approve Measure Z, which proposes a sales tax increase of one-eighth of a percent throughout Kern County. This tax increase would cost shoppers one penny for every $8 they spend. The funds are intended to support the expansion and long-term master plan of CALM Zoo.

Why it matters
The measure requires a permanent tax increase on Kern County families and businesses. Supporters argue the tax is an investment in a community asset, while opponents state it imposes a permanent tax increase to fund a nonessential government service.
