CAMARILLO : Sheriff, D.A. to Collect Signatures for Initiative

Share

Ventura County Sheriff Larry Carpenter and Dist. Atty. Michael D. Bradbury will be collecting signatures today at an Oxnard mall for a county ballot initiative that would require all Proposition 172 sales tax funds be earmarked solely for public safety.

The two will be at the Esplanade Shopping Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. A group called Citizens for a Safe Ventura County organized the signature drive and says that since the proposition’s passage in 1993, about $12 million has gone to expenditures not related to public safety.

At least 44,000 signatures are needed by April 10 for the measure to make the ballot.
