On April 7, voters in Sunset Hills passed Proposition P with 77.53% approval (1,156 votes). Proposition P will impose a sales tax of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for stormwater control or local parks, or both. There were 1,491 total votes counted in this proposition.
Before the election, opponents of the proposition were most concerned about the lack of a sunset date on this sales tax. Adding a 20-year sunset date, as has been modeled in the past, would have allowed voters in 2047 to vote again on whether to continue this sales tax. Candidates for all four wards of Sunset Hills were vocally supportive of the taxes.
