Impact analysis
Losing the $20 million annual revenue stream could force cuts to the very senior programs this commission oversees.
If Measure E passes, senior meals, shuttles and center programs keep their funding stream.
If it fails, seniors, library users, and children's programs are among the least politically protected and most likely to be cut.
