Voters reject sales tax hike for road fixes; FSUSD bond ekes out approval – The Reporter

By Richard Bammer

With a few more California Primary ballots to count in the coming days, Solano transportation measures G and H drew mixed results, passage and rejection, respectively, and the $249 million Fairfield-Suisun Unified school bond, Measure J, passed by a razor-thin margin.

In an early Wednesday website posting, the County Registrar of Voters indicated 54,935 votes, or nearly 64 percent, favored Measure G, the Solano County Transportation Improvement Advisory; and 48,795, or 56 percent, opposed H, the Solano County 2016 Transactions and Use Tax. Under state law, a simple majority, 50 percent plus 1, was required for passage.

Also in the early Wednesday posting, 13,874 votes, or 55.4 percent, were cast in favor of the school bond. Under state law, the measure had to meet a 55 percent, plus 1, threshold to pass.
