Berkeley voters are likely to reject Measure GG, which proposed a tax on large natural gas users, intended to cut emissions while addressing equity concerns.
Daniel Tahara emphasized the disappointment over the campaign results stating, 'We were outspent on the campaign by hundreds of thousands of dollars,' indicating financial challenges faced by the measure.
Despite the initial rejection, Tahara noted there were still votes left to count, highlighting a glimmer of hope for the measure's supporters.
The proposed tax aimed to charge $2.96 for every 100 cubic feet of gas consumed, based on the social cost of carbon, showcasing financial implications tied to climate initiatives.
