Tax for mosquito control may not make it to ballot
It’s still too early to tell whether SLO County property owners will decide to tax themselves and expand a mosquito control program, but if votes from cities are any indication, things aren’t looking good for a new district. As property owners, local government agencies get a vote, too. Out of the seven incorporated cities in the county, three city councils cast “yes” votes on a ballot measure to expand the vector control program, which is aimed at mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and rodents. The remaining four councils decided not to pay for the expanded program.
