The City of El Cajon is conducting a series of town hall meetings to discuss Measure J, which seeks to extend the current sales tax. These meetings are part of an effort to engage residents and inform them about the potential impacts of this measure, slated for the November 2024 ballot. The final town hall will take place on June 20, 2024, at the Hillside Recreation Center, running from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Previous sessions have been held throughout June, allowing residents to express their views and learn more about the implications of the measure. The city encourages community participation as a vital component in the decision-making process regarding local taxes.

This initiative not only aims to clarify the details of Measure J but also fosters a sense of community involvement. By addressing residents’ concerns, the city hopes to create a transparent dialogue about fiscal responsibilities. The town halls serve as a platform for citizens to engage directly with city officials and contribute to the future of El Cajon’s economic health.
