With over 79% of the vote, Pittsburg voters Tuesday overwhelmingly reapproved the city’s public safety sales tax that was set to expire at the end of this year.
649 residents voted yes, while 135 voted no.
As a result there will be no change in the ½ cent public safety sales tax for another ten years.
Last year, with the help of the tax, Pittsburg raised 2.3 million dollars for public safety to supplement the city’s budget. Since 2013, over 19.2 million has been raised due to the tax.
