“Our neighboring communities of Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Richmond have all increased their transfer taxes far higher than Measure GG. I can attest that the City Council has taken, and continues to take, a conservative approach to budgeting and expenditures. A long-overdue increase in the transfer tax would provide the City with revenue to continue to provide essential services and maintain the basic City infrastructure upon which we all rely.”

- Bob McBain
Former Mayor
Chair of the Budget Advisory and Financial Planning Committee

“For those of us who live in Piedmont, the value of our community is not simply the homes we own. It is the security of knowing that our police and firefighters are there when we need them. It is the quality of our parks, roads, sidewalks and public spaces. …. Measure GG provides an opportunity to help ensure that Piedmont continues to be the safe, beautiful and exceptionally well-served community we know and love.”
