Wait, it was a surcharge of 1.5% of the property tax, not a surcharge of 1.5% of the property value? Damn, glad this passed even though I voted no; I thought it was going to basically double the tax rate.

This is why everyone should be fully informed before voting.

It's not really your fault; the misinformation campaigns ran strong on this one. Cheers to Yes on 5!

TBH I was just going by what was in the info packet; I hadn't seen any info about it from any other sources, and I couldn't find the ballot measure on Ballotpedia, which is generally where I go to research this sort of thing before voting.
