Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister has endorsed the All for Transportation referendum on the November ballot. The Sheriff cited safety in his endorsement of the referendum, which he hopes will bring substantive improvements to the county’s transportation network.
Tim Pearson, president of Hillsborough County Firefighters Local 2294, also endorsed the measure, adding that the initiative to reduce traffic would allow for faster response times for first responders.
The All for Transportation referendum will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot in Hillsborough County. It would levy a 1-cent sales tax on non-essential goods and services, with things like groceries and medicine exempted.
