TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO MAIL BACK BALLOT FOR NEXT WEEK'S CITY OF TUCSON SPECIAL ELECTION - The last recommended day to mail back your completed ballot for the Tuesday, March 11, City of Tucson special election for Proposition 414 is today, March 5, or you can drop it off at a number of locations between now and election day (follow City Clerk's link below). City voters are being asked to consider a new, temporary half-cent sales tax for the next 10 years to fund a safer and more vibrant Tucson. If the proposition is approved, the City’s sales tax rate would increase to 3.1% and generate a projected $800 million over that period. The revenue generated would be split into five categories, with 65.75% of the funding allocated to public safety investments and 34.25% allocated to community resiliency investments.
