Show Notes
Orange County commissioners are considering a one-cent sales tax to fund infrastructure projects, including transportation, affordable housing, land conservation, water quality, and parks. The tax could generate $757 million over twenty years, with up to 15% for economic development and 30% for cities within the county. Residents have mixed opinions, with some questioning the need for more taxes and others supporting it for improvements like pedestrian safety. County leaders view it as a solution to traffic congestion and must decide by April to put it on the November 2026 ballot.
