ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE T
Vote YES on T! Maintain public safety, fiscal stability and our quality of life, WITHOUT taxing home
or property owners!
Measure T is a HOTEL TAX PAID ONLY BY HOTEL VISITORS when they spend the night locally.
Palm Desert residents, home and property owners are NOT taxed. �.5
We live in Palm Desert for its high quality of life. YES on T wilI maintain vital services that make
Palm Desert a desirable place to live, work, and do business! c'I-Q
Did you know that since the State's elimination of redevelopment in 2012, our city has lost
approximately $40,000,000 every year in critical funds to create jobs, make local improvements and
stimulate local economic growth? The State's Sacramento -focused agenda continues to cost Palm
Desert millions!
The Chamber of Commerce and Palm Desert Hoteliers support YES on T because it provides funding 3
to protect and maintain our essential services and quality of life - WITHOUT RAISING YOUR
TAXES: 1 S
• YES on T protects and maintains 911 emergency medical, police and fire protection/response 15
services
• YES on T maintains roads and street maintenance
• YES on T improves water conservation 6
• YES on T maintains local control over funds that can only be used in Palm Desert.
15
Palm Desert's hotel tax is the lowest in the Valley. YES on T simply ensures the hundreds of 1-7
thousands of tourists that come to our area - straining public safety services, impacting local natural IS
habitats and affecting our quality of life - pay their fair share for the services they use when they r 8
spend the night at local hotels.
Measure T includes fiscal accountability, with all funds subject to publicly available, annual,
independent audits of city funds and expenditures. 1 c�
