Sacramento Bee-
Sacramento County leaders on Wednesday dropped their plans to put a half-cent transportation sales tax measure on the November ballot after recent polling showed the measure was unlikely to pass.
Measure A, which would have raised about $8 billion over 40 years for road and transit improvements, appears to have been supported by about 62 percent of potential voters, but would have needed two-thirds majority approval to pass.
The Sacramento Transportation Authority board, made up of county supervisors and council representatives from cities, voted 13-0 to shut down its effort to offer the transportation package to voters.
