Political Landscape: Chamber of Commerce endorses Fountain Valley tax measure

The Fountain Valley Chamber of Commerce is supporting a local ballot measure that would increase the sales tax in the city to 9%, from 8%, as a way to help the city reach financial sustainability.

The chamber board voted unanimously in support of Measure HH at its meeting Tuesday, said Mary Parsons, chamber president and chief executive.

“We feel it is imperative to the health of our business community,” Parsons said Thursday. “Safety of our citizens and businesses should always be of the highest priority, and no reasonable alternative to offset our growing debt has been offered.”
