Official results from the November 8 election show that Measure H was approved by 17,320 (53%) YES to 15,530 (47%) NO.
The City of Chico added Measure H, a 1% sales tax, to the November, 2022 ballot. The money from Measure H would be used to support vital city services including: maintaining/repairing streets, storm drains, sidewalks, and fixing potholes; addressing homelessness; protecting 911 emergency response times; preserving the number of on‐duty police officers and fire fighters; maintaining/improving Bidwell Park, neighborhood parks, and funding other general services and essential activity. It is projected to add $24,000,000 annually to the City’s budget.
The Chico Avenues Neighborhood certainly has its share of infrastructure problems that Measure H would address. Let’s hope that the new City Council will address these issues and particularly our many potholes.
