49 Statement Against Ref. 49 Please join us in voting yes on Referendum 49 to reform our state's auto license tab system and to move ahead on critical transportation projects. A yes vote is a vote for less congestion on our roads, less taxes on our cars and more dollars to fight crime in our communities. Only about one-half of your license tab fees now support transportation projects. No new taxes are needed to provide these funds.
Local governments face rapidly rising costs for courts and jails.
R-49 provides substantial surplus funds to communities for criminal justice. It also provides new funds to counties with high unemployment to help them with transportation and other economic development needs. Vote yes because we need transportation solutions now to get our state moving again. Our freeways are dangerously congested. Traffic congestion is so bad, we can't wait any longer.
