Discuss ballot measure to tax employers with few Richmond residents
In Plain English
The city is considering a November 2008 ballot measure that would tax employers who don't hire enough Richmond residents. This would create a new revenue source while encouraging businesses to hire locally. If approved by voters, companies not meeting minimum local hiring requirements would pay additional taxes to the city.
