The answer remains NO! 4
None of the proponent's arguments to the "No on T" answers any of the four
reasons to vote NO. 19
1. Palm Desert already has very large monetary reserves.
2. The proposed new tax money can be spent for any legal purpose the city
council chooses. l
3. The present city council is already giving existing T.O.T. funds away to
developers.
{3
4. Our hotel guests already pay their fair share, a total of 12% added to their bill. -7
No unneeded taxes for any reason on anyone has been the foundation of fiscal
responsibility for 43 years in Palm Desert. Raising T.O.T. to amass funds is
NOT fiscal responsibility. nq
Measure T guarantees nntliing for police or paramedic response, fire protection,
water conservation, street maintenance or any other claim of the proponents.
These issues are only impacted by city council decisions and there are plenty of
reserves to be wisely spent or saved. L i
No need equals a "NO" vote on T. ,Q
