Rancho Mirage Sales Tax Increase Set to Pass
Initial election results show Rancho Mirage voters favoring a one-cent sales tax increase to fund city services. Measure R aims to raise about $7.5 million annually for local road maintenance and emergency response.
Rancho Mirage voters are backing a 1-percentage-point sales tax increase to 8.75%, per initial Riverside County election results on Tuesday morning. The ballot measure aligns the California city's rate with several neighboring desert municipalities. Additional funds will support municipal services including road maintenance and emergency response.
