Measure I, which was a measure which allowed the city to collect a "a 45 percent tax on residential electricity usage that exceeds 600 percent over the established yearly baseline allowance — the minimum amount of energy a household requires" was expected to win and I thought I heard something about it passing.
I found an article that said it's only about 7 percent of residences that go above the baseline, but this is significant because it is aimed specifically at large indoor dope grows. I wonder if this kind of thing will catch on or not in other cash strapped cities.
HB.
