Thank you, Semra, for helping to set the record straight that Prop 1 is written as law that the funds can only be used for public safety and that the 24 cents per thousand rate was set specifically to close the $1.4M gap based on the numbers at the time.
I think this is well said, Dan. I'm voting Yes on Prop 1 as well.
Semra did a good job clarifying that the money from Prop 1 would be used for public safety. The previous point about money being fungible means that, if Prop 1 passes, the funds that are currently allocated for public safety could be used for whatever the City Council wants to spend it on.
