South Bay celebrates tax measure, Prop. 50 passage; tax assessor's race heads to runoff

Santa Clara County officials on Tuesday night breathed a sigh of relief with the passage of Measure A, which will see a temporary sales tax increase to help offset a loss in funding due to Trump administration cuts. The county's tax assessor's race will go to a runoff in December, after none of the four candidates secured more than 50% of the vote.
