Advisory committee presents its wish list of social programs using Contra Costa sales tax

In an advisory committee’s first assessment of how Contra Costa County should spend an expected sales tax windfall of at least $81 million annually over 20 years, county supervisors unanimously accepted the findings but sought more specifications before allocating $20,000 for a formally-written report.

Supervisors asked the Measure X community advisory board to report again at the supervisors’ Nov. 2 meeting, when they would again formally consider the $20,000 request.
