NO on Measure B @MeasureBad

MeasureBad.com, updated website coming soon 🔜

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. If you’re tired of insiders changing the rules and forcing working families to subsidize failure, join us. The resistance starts today.

This is it. Ballots are due in days. If you haven’t returned yours yet, open it RIGHT NOW and vote NO on Measure B. They are demanding a 30-year blank check to 2059 — $51 million of your sales tax every year — while already forcing you to subsidize each SMART ride by up to $196. They lost in 2020. They changed the rules. Your NO vote is the only thing that stops this taxpayer rip-off. Return your ballot TODAY. MeasureBad.com

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. MeasureBad.com

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. MeasureBad.com

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! MeasureBad.com

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. Full facts and numbers: MeasureBad.com

Vote NO on Measure B. Demand accountability. Make the agency return in 2029 and prove it can operate efficiently before receiving another long-term tax commitment. Full facts, numbers, and analysis: 👉 MeasureBad.com Share this thread with voters in Sonoma and Marin.

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. You should not be forced to subsidize an underperforming system for the next three decades.

Measure B appears on the June 2 ballot in Sonoma and Marin counties. It asks voters to extend the existing 0.25% SALES TAX for the SMART train for another 30 years — through 2059 — locking in approximately $51 MILLION per year in dedicated tax revenue. Ballots are arriving in mailboxes right now. This is one of the most consequential local decisions you will make this year. 🧵
