Committee to consider Oakland opposition to Proposition 43

Oakland's Rules and Legislation Committee is scheduled to consider Mayor Barbara Lee's resolution opposing Proposition 43, a statewide ballot measure on Nov. 3, 2026. If approved by voters, Proposition 43 would require two-thirds approval for all future voter-initiated local special taxes beginning Jan. 1, 2027, while leaving existing taxes unchanged. The resolution says Oakland opposes the measure; no council vote is recorded in the source.
