WHAT IS MEASURE G?
Measure G extends the previously approved parcel tax that started in 2003. Levied on a flat per-parcel basis of $59 per parcel the rate has remained the same since 2003.

WHAT TAXPAYER PROTECTIONS ARE IN PLACE?
Measure G comes with significant taxpayer protections. An independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee must review and audit all parcel tax expenditures to ensure that funds are only spent on the programs identified. Measure G includes legal safeguards that prohibit funds from being used for administrators’ salaries. Additionally, all funds will benefit only Mammoth Unified schools—the state is legally prohibited from taking and spending the funds in other districts.
