Measure D
Many people who work in Calistoga cannot afford to live here, making traffic worse and filling jobs more difficult. Measure D increases the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) which overnight hotel guests pay, from 12% to 13%, and sets aside the additional 1% for creating housing programs and services that benefit people in Calistoga. The revenue cannot be used for any other purpose. Measure D shares with our tourists the cost of affordable and workforce housing. Effec 1/19
