Colfax Passes Measure 1A To Preserve Local Budget
Voters approved Measure 1A aiming to keep local tax dollars nearer home amid California's budget crisis. The measure allows state borrowing with repayment and two declared hardships in a 10 year span, potentially stabilizing Colfax revenues for city programs like water treatment and recreation despite state cost shifts. The law won bipartisan support and won’t take effect for two years, with analysts noting longer term protection for city budgets.
