Voters in Pomona face two tax questions in the upcoming election a half cent city sales tax and repealing an ordinance that removed the public safety department from the tax lid. Mayor Wanda Berger and resident Bobby Soper argue over police funding with grants ending and hours to be decided. The measure would raise 25000 to 27000 dollars, aiding fire protection and police staffing amid concerns about costs.
