Two sales tax measures may be added to the November 2016 ballot pending an investigation by a County ad hoc subcommittee. Last week, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors appointed supervisors Oscar Villegas and Jim Provenza to an ad hoc subcommittee to assist with fact-finding on new sales tax measures which would seek to develop two new local programs — one pertaining to universal pre-school, Quality Preschool for All, and one addressing transportation infrastructure.
