Submitted by paula on Wed, 11/01/2017 - 6:41pm
The League to Save Lake Tahoe supports Measure C, the ballot measure to fix potholes and repair road surfaces in the City of South Lake Tahoe. Fixing our roads protects Lake Tahoe, and is a critical complement to the advocacy by the League and many others to reduce pollution associated with Tahoe’s traffic.

Letter: Vote Yes on Measure C
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 11/01/2017 - 7:09am
I never thought 20 years ago that SLT roads and pothole problems would still be a problem today, but it still is! Tahoe is a beautiful place, if you ignore the pothole problem. Finally we have a chance to do something. Measure C, a quarter percent sales tax, will replace another sales tax that is expiring, and that same money will be set aside for fixing our roads. The new measure will also mandate a citizens committee with legal clout to make sure this money is spent on roads. This is an amazing opportunity to get something done on our roads.
VOTE YES ON C.

October 31, 2017 (All day) As it stands right now, any tax money collected goes to the General Fund where it can be disbursed as the city sees fit regardless what it is ear. That's why this Measure C is a good tax (if there is a good tax), because it is a specific fund that cannot be used for anything but what it's voted on.
Specifically this started as a way to keep CalPERS from robbing the general fund for unfunded pensions and liabilities. The problem is it's not enough and everyone knows it, even the authors.

I have lived in South Lake Tahoe for 37 years and hope to live in this amazing place for many more years to come. In that time I have not always been pleased with the way our City has spent its tax revenues, but, in the last several years, I believe there has been a concerted effort to control spending and to provide better oversight in the way these funds are used. That's why I am supporting Measure C.

Ever since I moved to South Lake Tahoe, potholes and cracks have covered our city’s roads and presented a danger to residents. We have all seen cars swerve all over the road, only to realize it’s not a drunk driver, but rather someone trying to avoid potholes. Our roads should not be in such disrepair, that a simple trip to the grocery store can feel like an obstacle course. We need to solve this problem.
Letter: Vote for Measure C
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 10/31/2017 - 12:32pm
I’m voting for Measure C because South Lake Tahoe needs a reliable and transparent way to fund road maintenance and improvement. Last winter was illustration enough for me. After I hit a pothole on Pioneer Trail during a snowstorm, I had no other option than to spend $800 for new tires if I was going to drive my children to school and get to work. In the summer months, I watched as the asphalt wore down from thousands of tires coming in from out of town every week. As the tourists leave, we are left with cracks and splits and holes.
