Some Oxnard residents upset with a major hike in their wastewater fees took the issue to the ballot box, and won.
Oxnard’s Measure M passed by a 72% to 23% margin, repealing the increase approved by the city council earlier this year. The City approved the hike as part of efforts to pay for a revamp of its aging, failing wastewater treatment system.
Some South Coast residents feel it’s worth spending a little more to help their schools. Ventura School District voters approved Measure R, renewal of an existing $59 dollar a year parcel tax for four more years, which will raise about $2.2 million dollar annually for academic programs.
