Stop the Blank Check to 2059. SMART loses $196 per rider & just added $47M in debt. They lost in 2020 so they changed the rules. Vote NO on Measure B by June 2.MeasureBad.com Sonoma & Marin CountiesJoined May 2026
They spent over $1 MILLION to BUY Measure B — and they still ONLY got 70%.
The YES campaign was bankrolled by the exact SPECIAL INTERESTS who profit from the spending: construction contractors like Stacy and Witbeck and Ghilotti who build the stations and pathways, labor PACs like the California Alliance for Jobs ($200,000), the Eames Institute, and the local Democratic political class.
Meanwhile, 31,308 Sonoma/Marin voters — nearly 30% — looked at a system with low ridership and massive taxpayer subsidies and voted NO anyway. That number is a WARNING.
Now the same machine is coming for something much bigger.
The Connect Bay Area Act — Senator Scott Wiener’s regional transit sales tax for November 2026 — has already raised $5.5 million just to qualify. Backed by Salesforce, crypto BILLIONAIRE Chris Larsen, SEIU, and the transit agency establishment, it would impose a NEW 0.5% SALES TAX across five Bay Area counties to generate roughly $1 billion per year.
This is the real fight.
We are beginning to raise money right now to defeat the Connect Bay Area Act in November. The same coalition that exposed the blank check and the $196-per-ride subsidy on Measure B is scaling up. We will not let them treat Sonoma and Marin taxpayers as an endless ATM for underperforming transit systems.

They lost in 2020. They changed the rules.

OPINION: A yes vote would extend an existing ¼-cent sales tax to help keep the train running until 2059. A no vote would effectively kill the line, the editorial board writes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Sonoma and Marin Counties,
June 2 is in just 4 days!
Measure B would extend the existing sales tax for the SMART train for another 30 years — all the way until 2059 — locking in $51 million of your tax dollars every single year.
The current tax doesn’t even expire until 2029.
They’re asking you to approve this massive, long-term commitment three years early, while taxpayers already subsidize each ride by up to $196.
This is not smart planning. It’s locking you into paying forever for an inefficient system.
Vote NO on Measure B.

They lost fair and square in 2020.
Voters rejected the exact same tax extension.
So the insiders changed the rules, gathered signatures, and put Measure B back on your ballot — this time needing only 50%+1.
Now they want you to sign a 30-year blank check to 2059: $51 million every year in sales tax while SMART subsidizes each ride with up to $196 of your money.
This isn’t transit policy.
It’s taxpayer extortion.
Vote NO on Measure B.

Supporters of Measure B warn that the North Bay rail system will run out of funding and eventually shut down by 2029 if the sales tax extension is not approved. ktvu.com/news/measure-b…
Sonoma and Marin Counties
They’re trying to ram through Measure B while you’re not looking.
This is a 30-year blank check to 2059 — $51 million of your sales tax every single year, starting three years before the current tax even expires.
SMART already loses up to $196 on every rider you subsidize. They failed in 2020, so they changed the rules to make it easier to win.
Enough is Enough.
Working families should not be forced to bankroll this forever.
Vote NO on Measure B by June 2!

Your ballot just arrived in Sonoma and Marin Counties.
Measure B asks you to extend the current sales tax for the SMART train for another 30 years — all the way until 2059 — locking in roughly $51 million every single year.
The existing tax doesn’t expire until 2029.
They are asking for this massive, long-term commitment three years early, while the train continues to recover only 6–11% of its costs from riders — meaning taxpayers like you are already subsidizing each trip by up to $196.
Working families and homeowners should not be locked into paying for an inefficient system for the next three decades.
Vote NO on Measure B by June 2.

This sales tax is fundamentally regressive. It takes a larger share of income from working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and middle-class households than from high earners.
