"The latest results for Measure B show a majority of South Alameda County voters are in favor of a parcel tax to help pay for a local hospital district's facility and service improvements, according to the Alameda County Registrar of Voters. As of Friday afternoon, 46,473 voters, or almost 65%, were in favor of Measure B, while 25,166, or about 35%, were against it."
"The county's top election official, Tim DuPuis, previously said his office still had mail-in ballots and others left to count before election results could be certified. As of Saturday, the county's website listed at least 2,200 ballots as still uncured, with the latest report expected from DuPuis' office by Monday. Measure B is expected to generate $13 million annually over the next 12 years for Washington Township Health Care District,"
Measure B leads with 46,473 votes (about 65%) in favor and 25,166 votes (about 35%) opposed, while mail-in and other ballots remain to be counted. The county listed at least 2,200 uncured ballots and expected an updated report from the registrar. The measure would levy a 5-cent parcel tax per square foot on residential and commercial properties within Washington Township Health Care District. The tax is projected to generate $13 million annually for 12 years to fund facility and service improvements, upgrade medical equipment and technology, reduce ER wait times, and support qualified doctors, surgeons, and nurses. Washington Hospital provides emergency and hospital services for South Alameda County and operates the area's only trauma center.
