What happened
Upland allowed taxes to be passed with a simple majority. This action relates to Proposition 43, which aims to set a higher bar for taxes. Proposition 43 allows general taxes—those not targeted to a specific purpose—to pass with 50% plus one of the voting electorate, while targeted proposals require two-thirds approval.
