SR 26/27-028:Endorsement of Measure V: Transactions and Use (Sales) General Tax Measure

If passed, the ASUC would formally endorse Berkeley's Measure V, a proposed 0.5% increase to the local transactions and use tax, which aims to generate $9-10 million annually for the City's General Fund. This endorsement supports the City's efforts to address a $30 million structural deficit and maintain critical municipal services, including public safety and recreation, which are relied upon by Berkeley residents and UC Berkeley students. The resolution encourages students to review Measure V's financial implications and potential effects on City services before the November 3, 2026 election.
