Taft tax increase vote

By Doug Keeler Midway Driller Editor dkeeler@taftmidwaydriller.com @midwaydriller 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.

City honors Bob Hampton

Taft Midway Driller The Taft City Council approved changing the name of East Cedar Street to honor late business and civic leader Bob Hampton. Hampton passed away on May 13, 2020 at age 82. The Kern County Board of Supervisors voted last year to rename the street to honor Hampton, whose business, Westside Waste Management, has been located there for many years. Hampton supported numerous business, community and philanthropic projects in the community. He was a great friend for the City of Taft, Councilman Orchel Krier said after the vote Tuesday night. He made a lot of donations and provided the Chamber of Commerce with its building and helped the West Side Health Care District.
