The Taft City Council voted Tuesday to delay playing a ballot measure to add a one percent sales tax to raise money to replace lost funding for city services.
The council was going to consider a motion to vote to place it on the Sept. 14 ballot for the recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom, but decided there isn't enough time to do it right.
"There are substantial challenges to the timeliness of being able to get this on the ballot," Mayor Dave Noerr said. "I think it is in the best interest of the council and the citizens of Taft to withdraw it."
