I forgot Sonoma County Measure M.
M is County-wide 1/8 % sales tax for County PARKS.
If you recall, previously there was a 1/4 % sales tax for parks that failed. That was an odd one because it would have applied in the unincorporated areas only. Only stores located outside city limits would have collected it. For example Friedman Brothers on Santa Rosa Avenue would have collected it, but Home Depot in Rohnert Park would not have.
This new 1/8 % tax would be collected at all stores in the County, those in city limits and those outside.
If passed, this would be like what happened with the Library tax. A 1/4 % tax failed, then they went back to the voters with a 1/8 % tax that passed. Interestingly the library has not only been able to restore the hours they are open, but they now have a budget surplus. So apparently they were over-reaching when they first went for a 1/4 % tax.
