Southern California voters will have to fend off over 100 tax hikes and bonds this November

On their Nov. 5 ballots, Southern Californians face down 116 city tax increases or extensions, school taxes and school bonds. The bonds are paid for by property-tax increases and require only 55% approval. A sales tax for general purposes requires a majority, while one for special purposes requires two-thirds. The tallies:

Los Angeles County: an incredible 32 school bonds, one county sales tax increase, 18 city sales, parking or cannabis tax increases, three city bonds, three business license tax increases and two school parcel taxes.
