"Good times"?
Good times for the local officials (bigger wallets)
Why not kick some back to the local residents? Perhaps in the form of local tax reductions?
Yep tax increases but never decreases
Good times...gooood times.

Great, how do we ensure the influx in revenue results in sustainable investment over costly expenses?
Would love to see some of our parcel taxes eliminated with this money as well.

I'm fine with the taxes where they're at, but how's about setting aside a few dollars for a rainy day?

Better to pay down more money towards the cities employees pension debt!

I think the current public library is nice and charming. Would like to see a proposal to renovate and expand it. Also can't wait to see how Pacific Pearl turns out.

Worse times for people who like small towns. Seems like city planners aren't thinking positive about small town atmosphere. Why not think positive about no dense housing. Our population density is at it's max 2,900/sq mi anything more creates unhappy drivers and unhappy pedestrians and unhappy shoppers. Why does every town turn into an LA?

Good times for Pleasanton. Yep for people selling, renting property out & realtors! Their wallet gets fatter & fatter!! Whilst the average family can't afford the size house they need for their family, so rent. But still rent smaller than need as rents have gone through the roof just like house prices! Sick of the houses prices & rents going up & up! Can't believe people can afford & PAY 1 million plus, for a 4-5 bed house! With hardly any back yard too!
Then all these taxes that keep getting added! Dread anyone in my family being ill because of the $$. Arghh!! $$$

And yet the powers that be are planning to ask us to tax ourselves to fund a new library/City center.
