Who we are

SYTax believes in efficient, effective, and transparent government.

The Sutter Yuba Taxpayers Association (SYTax) advocates for efficient and transparent use of public funds in Sutter and Yuba Counties. By analyzing budgets and policy issues, SYTax informs taxpayers and influences decisions, such as opposing Measure D due to fiscal concerns.

To boost their impact, SYTax could launch a digital platform for real-time updates on spending and projects. This would offer interactive tools and virtual town halls, enhancing transparency and community engagement.

SYTax opposes Measure D

Yuba City is considering a 1% increase in its General Sales Tax to address critical financial issues. An analysis of the city’s Operating Budget has exposed unsustainable salary increases that are not matched by adequate revenue, putting the city’s fiscal stability at risk. This imbalance threatens the ability to maintain essential services and manage future financial pressures.

Additionally, a review of the Capital Improvement Plan Budget reveals stalled projects with escalating costs, highlighting deficiencies in project management and planning. These delays and cost overruns exacerbate the city’s financial strain and point to a need for improved oversight and strategic planning. Addressing these issues is crucial to ensuring the city’s long-term infrastructure goals and effective use of public funds.
