A wide variety of public financing mechanisms are available for communities to invest local funding in local public services – funding for education, transportation, hospitals, parks and public safety that cannot be taken away by the state or federal government.
The challenge is that the same economic conditions that force budget cuts also make voters less likely to support tax increases. A strong, message-driven campaign is needed to pass any public finance measure, including general obligation bonds, parcel taxes, sales tax increases and other assessments.
Since 1996, TBWB Strategies has won over 100 campaigns to raise more than
$3 billion in public financing for schools, cities, community colleges and other public agencies. |
