Impact analysis
The tax would add a half cent per dollar to purchases countywide, with no guarantee La Verne gets its share back.
County healthcare programs would benefit if the measure passes; local residents and businesses avoid the added tax if the opposition effort succeeds.
Residents and businesses would bear the added tax if it passes, and the city could lose out on its proportional share of revenue.
