Transit advocates, mayor launch signature-gathering campaign for Muni ballot measure

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie and supporters of a proposed property tax increase to create long-term money dedicated to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency assembled at Mission Dolores Park on Tuesday to launch a signature-gathering campaign to qualify the measure for the ballot in November. 

The measure, titled “Stronger Muni For All,” would progressively raise parcel taxes in the city for both residential and commercial properties using a range of rates, starting with a flat base rate increase of $129 for single-family residential properties under 3,000 square feet, which would cover about 95% of residential properties, according to a statement from the Stronger Muni For All campaign.
