How proposed SF tax measures could affect inequality

Civic

Among more than a dozen measures that voters are deciding on this November, several are taxes, including business taxes, a parcel tax, and a sales tax. Many have components meant to reduce inequality or fund much-needed services. We talked with Donnie Charleston, director of public policy and advocacy for E Pluribus Unum, a nonprofit whose mission is to build a more just, equitable, and inclusive South, to get some perspective on the tools local governments have to address income and racial inequities, and some of the tax measures up for voter approval.
