Measure K is a proposal for a local ¼ cent transactions and use tax for public safety purposes. A local transactions and use tax is a type of sales tax collected on consumer purchases. Measure K is anticipated to generate $4,000,000 annually, or approximately $26 per Kings County resident. The revenues would be shared by Kings County and the four incorporated cities in the county based upon population, and could be used only to fund police, Sheriff, and fire operations.
