Contra Costa Okays Transportation Tax Plan
The Contra Costa County Transportation Authority has unanimously approved a $2.87 billion spending plan for a 1/2-cent, 30-year transportation sales tax measure intended to go before voters in November 2016.

BIA representatives made it clear that the association would actively oppose a measure that made it more difficult or expensive to build much-needed housing inside the Urban Limit Line.   Full Story
