Measure H on the June ballot asks you to approve a half-cent sales tax for repairs and maintenance on local roads and streets, and for safety improvements in Jamieson Canyon and at other dangerous locations. You may ask "Why does local government need another source of funds? What about all the other taxes I pay?"

Who remembers the "urgency ordinance," just three years ago, banning activities within 150 feet of any stream? Wendy Wallin ("Measure A interferes with greater good," May 23) sure doesn't. Maybe she parachuted in, without pausing to consider anti-A Supervisor Mark Luce's plan to seek voter approval only when the Supervisors grab over $100 million of value (Our View editorial, May 18). Ms. Wallin can be first in line to give up 10 percent of her property value, and the Register editorial staff second -- to surrender 10 percent of yours. Advocating this goofball idea, as more reasonable than Measure A, is fine if you first tithe your own property to public good or private redistribution.

And to the voting public of Napa County; There are a few questions you need to ask yourself before you vote for district attorney in the June 6 election.

Over the past few weeks, I have been asked to explain Measure A to some folks hearing about it for the first time. The explanation is actually quite simple. Measure A will help protect thousands of families who go unrepresented by their elected officials from having their property stolen through government overregulation. It will help protect the future tax base of Napa County which is continually being eroded by government confiscation of property rights. It will not change any current regulations and allows exemptions for needed health and safety or state-mandated regulations. Contrary to misrepresentations made by the opponents of the measure, Measure A protects the Ag Preserve, Measure J and the General Plan. There will be no cost to Napa County if the special interest groups and their salaried officials don't confiscate more property from targeted Napa families through never-ending, self-serving, new regulations.

Measure H proposes a half-cent "self-help" sales tax to fund:

Measure H proposes a half-cent "self-help" sales tax for repair and maintenance of local streets and roads; improvements to the Jamieson Canyon corridor, including widening and a center median barrier from Highway 29 to I-80; and safer routes to school and improved transit options. Napa Citizens for Safety and Congestion Relief - Yes on Measure H has compiled this list of answers to common questions.

We must do something about our transportation needs and soon. We can all agree that for decades, we've had insufficient maintenance for city streets, county roads and that Highway 12, through Jamieson Canyon, is dangerous for commuters and other travelers. We're encouraged to enact Measure H, a seemingly simplistic solution to fix roads and reduce congestion.
