HERCULES & PINOLE CHARTER CITY CALLS FOR ACTION UPDATE

Last Tuesday, July 12th, both the City of Pinole and the City of Hercules city councils voted to not move forward with a November ballot measure that would have allowed the city to establish itself as a Charter City for the sole purpose of establishing a Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT). These taxes would have been anywhere from an additional $8 per thousand to $12 per thousand, not including the $1.10 per thousand already included in transactions in Contra Costa County. A special thank you goes out to members who participated in the Calls for Action and who attended the council meetings to speak in opposition, as we would not have been able to do it without you!
