Today, the Napa County Board of Supervisors is expected to decide whether to send a road repair tax measure to the November ballot. Measure U, if approved, would not increase the current tax rate. It would instead replace Measure T, which is the county’s current half-cent sales tax for road repairs. Measure U would adjust it to allow for bonding. It means local jurisdictions would be allowed to issue debt against future tax revenue to raise funding for major maintenance projects, which they cannot do with Measure T.
