What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Voters in Benicia are being urged to support three local measures (X, Y, and Z) designed to modernize the city's tax structure. Measure X proposes changing business license taxes by eliminating them for small businesses and basing them on receipts, and it would add a tax on refined gas entering the port. Measure Z would impose a transfer tax on newly built property.
