Sacramento City Clerk Mindy Cuppy and City Attorney Susana Alcala Wood Wednesday sent a letter to The Sacramento Bee detailing the steps the City took to make sure the public had an opportunity to review and file arguments on Measure C, the business operations tax modernization going before voters in March.
The ballot measure proposes to update minimum payments, maximum payments, flat rates, per unit rates, and gross receipt thresholds that were last changed in 1991 but have not been updated since. The measure also proposes future annual inflation adjustments to those items. To learn more about the BOT modernization, click here.

City staff this week also requested corrections to multiple factual errors in a Feb. 14 news article from The Bee on Measure C (“Sacramento family speaks out against Measure C, urging residents to vote ‘no’”).
Following contact from the City, The Bee made several changes to the article but did not append a corrections notice to inform the public that the article had been updated. It wasn’t until the City contacted The Bee again that the corrections were noticed in the article.
This is the second major correction The Bee has made within a week to articles related to the March 5 election. After being contacted by the City, The Bee corrected this Feb. 10 opinion piece on the District 4 Council race.
