FairPAC OPPOSES Measure CC · VOTE NO
Marin Healthcare District – Emergency Healthcare Funding Measure
Measure CC is Double Crazy.
FairPAC OPPOSES Measure CC. Vote no. A second 30-year tax stacked on a hospital mortgage that is still largely unpaid.
Official ballot question. “Shall the measure funding expanded and upgraded emergency room, intensive care, hospital, and other medical facilities to care for trauma, heart attack, stroke, and other patients and attract qualified doctors and nurses, with no funds for administrator salaries, by enacting a parcel tax of 14¢ per square foot of improved building area annually, generating approximately $12,400,000 annually for 30 years, subject to annual audits and citizens’ committee oversight, be adopted?”

Why FairPAC Opposes
Four reasons. One vote: no.
The formal argument and sources live at noceo.org. This is FairPAC’s official position, in the words we stand behind.
Double Crazy
A second 30-year tax stacked on the 2013 hospital mortgage that is still largely unpaid.
Wants, not needs
“Upgrade, expand, attract.” MarinHealth posted a ~$24M surplus in 2024. Taxpayers shouldn’t bankroll a wish list.
Dishonest signature gathering
Gatherers told people the hospital would close. Called “straight up dishonest” on the record.
Hard to unwind
May be bonded against. Only another vote can repeal. No senior or low-income exemption.

Measure CC is not a special case. It faces the same test we apply to every measure — the four questions and the four that a measure raises on its own.
