Manteca would have 25 percent less police officers and would be unable to staff two of its five fire engine companies without the half percent Measure M sales tax approved by voters in 2006. The Public Safety Tax Oversight Committee in a report the City Council will receive when they meet tonight at 6 p.m., noted the tax is paying for 20 police positions and 18 firelighter positions.
