AC Transit approves half cent tax cut in Alameda County
Alameda County tax rate falls from 13.7 to 19.1 cents per hundred while district wide rate remains 19.2 cents. Contra Costa rate rises from 17.3 to 19.9 cents as assessors adjust under state equalization rules. Resulting higher assessments will boost district revenue by 259,424 dollars plus 1 million from fare changes, but a net year end deficit of 9,162 dollars is anticipated. Director William J. Bellencourt urges permanent federal and state aid and the board supports contacting officials.
