Editorial: Voters should reject Washington health care district parcel tax

The district, formed in 1948, today operates a 415-bed acute care hospital. For the current and past two fiscal years, the district shows operating losses of about $30 million annually, or about 3.5% of its operating expenses. Measure B would cover about $13 million of that shortfall. Those taxes would be on top of the district's bond program, which voters in 2020 agreed to increase to pay for hospital seismic improvements.

Open Letter from 'Muni Now, Muni Forever': Ensuring a Successful Muni Funding Measure in 2026 - Streetsblog San Francisco

We appreciate that your office is considering a local ballot measure to fund Muni via a parcel tax. Even if a regional funding measure passes at the ballot, Muni will still face a growing annual deficit of over $150 million. The stakes could not be higher. San Francisco's economic recovery, climate goals, and basic mobility for working people all depend on a stable, well-funded public transit system.
