Discuss how to spend Measure Q sales tax revenue
In Plain English
Richmond voters approved Measure Q in a previous election, adding a half-cent sales tax to fund city services. The council will discuss how much money this tax has generated and what projects or services to fund with it. If you buy something in Richmond, you pay this extra tax on top of the regular sales tax.
