Document last updated on Monday, June 29, 2026.

Summary

Measure A, a voter-approved quarter-cent sales tax, has become one of Marin County’s most important sources of funding for parks, open space, and sustainable agriculture.

In this report, we reach two conclusions regarding the future of Measure A.

Privacy

Reports issued by the Civil Grand Jury do not identify individuals interviewed. Penal Code Section 929 requires that reports of the Grand Jury not contain the name of any person, or facts leading to the identity of any person who provides information to the Civil Grand Jury.  

The California State Legislature has stated that it intends the provisions of Penal Code Section 929 prohibiting disclosure of witness identities to encourage full candor in testimony in Civil Grand Jury investigations by protecting the privacy and confidentiality of those who participate.
