If transfer tax funding goes toward preventing water pollution and supporting disaster preparedness and affordable housing, why would it be deposited in the general fund?

• If Measure O passes, there could be a 108% transfer tax increase on condo complexes and apartment buildings thereby increasing rents.

• If transfer tax funding goes toward preventing water pollution, disaster preparedness, and affordable housing, why will it be deposited in the general fund where it can be spent on anything?

On November 8, make a plan to vote to keep Emeryville affordable — vote NO on Measure O!
