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.
