The money <br />cannot be taken by Sacramento. <br />The measures require independent citizen oversight, mandatory financial audits, and yearly <br />reports to the community to ensure that all funds are spent as promised. <br />These measures will help protect our property values by providing quality city services, parks, <br />open space and safe neighborhoods. <br />551
