ENDORSING PROPOSITION 42, TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
SALES AND USE TAX REVENUES
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will make our roads safer and reduce traffic without higher
taxes by requiring the gasoline sales taxes we already pay be used to improve mass transit,
highways and local roads; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 is based on the principle that taxes paid at the gas pump should
be used for transportation purposes; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will provide a stable and ongoing source of transportation
funding that will make it possible to plan for our future transportation needs; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will guarantee funds to every city and county to help fix
potholes, repair dangerous road conditions and improve the safety of children walking or
biking to school; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 42 will help speed up highway safety and traffic relief projects,
and expand and improve mass transit systems; and,
WHEREAS, all Proposition 42 projects will be subject to an annual audit and standard
accounting practices to ensure they are delivered on time and on budget; and
WHEREAS, by speeding up transportation projects, thousands of new construction and
other jobs will be created, the economy will be stimulated and every dollar invested in
highways will result in almost six times that in economic benefits; now, therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Town of Danville supports the passage of Proposition 42,
