LA firefighters seek 2026 ballot measure to raise sales tax for $345M annual funding.
The Los Angeles firefighters union is seeking to place a half-cent sales tax increase on the November 2026 ballot to generate about $345 million annually for the LAFD, aiming to address decades of underfunding, staffing shortages, and aging infrastructure.
The measure, which would raise the city’s sales tax to 10.25%, would fund hiring, equipment, station repairs, and maintenance of current funding levels, with oversight through audits and a public committee.
Proponents cite growing emergency demand and national safety standards, while critics argue existing taxes are high and the city should fund the department directly.
