Fun song explaining Measure Z and why a NO vote is in everyone's best interest! Bottom line, there is no end date on this Measure Z (it will take practically an act of God to reverse the perpetuity), and the money is NOT GUARANTEED to go to the firefighters, regardless what you see on the mailers and signs around town. The money will go into a "general" fund -- therefore, the city can spend it on anything they want, not just on the fire department and safety. It's a ruse!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the women who nurture, guide, protect, encourage, rescue, comfort, and love — whether through motherhood by birth, adoption, fostering, step-parenting, mentorship, caregiving, or being a devoted pet mom.

The world is better because of the compassion, strength, and care you give so freely. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love and appreciation. 💐 This is us, with our grandmother and mother.

****NO, NO, NO on Measure Z****

A tax that has no sunset clause is dangerous!!! And the money should go to a “specific” tax, not a “general” tax (which means it is NOT guaranteed to go to health and safety -- specifically the fire department which is what the City wants you to think), regardless what the fancy mailers say about fire services.

This general tax can be spent on ANYTHING the city wants! What has the city been doing with the almost 85 million dollars ANNUALLY they’ve been gleaning from us for the past 9-10 years?!? I call foul! We should all be screaming from our rooftops “Where’s the money????” And now they want MORE?!?!? No way!!!! The City of Riverside needs to do a better job handling our money, before we give them cart blanche with no end date in sight!

Measure Z first passed in 2016 — TEN years ago because the mailers scared residents into thinking that we would lose fire and safety services if it didn’t pass (they’re doing the same thing today with their mailers -- don’t fall for it unless you’re independently wealthy and don’t care about paying more sales tax).

Don’t you think that approximately $800 million (9-10 years’ worth of our tax money) should have been enough to buy a new fire station and some new trucks already??? I call BS on the city’s spending and saying they need this measure to pass so they can add fire stations and hire more firefighters. They had TEN YEARS to do this and haven't!!!

EVERYONE supports the fire department, and we woud likely pay a higher sales tax to protect ourselves with more fire department statioins and firefighters, due to increased population in our city, but not with a blank check. We need a sunset clause (the current ballot Measure has no end date) and we need a ballot measure that GUARANTEES the money specifically goes TO the fire department!!!

****NO, NO, NO on Measure Z****

Let the City come up with a better-written measure next go-around, where the money goes DIRECTLY to health and safety services (and not pensions, pay raises, or pickleball courts). This current Measure's money can be used for ANYTHING the City wants -- which is unfair to taxpayers AND the fire department!!!!

****NO, NO, NO on Measure Z****
