Palmdale taxpayers if city tax revenue is protected.
If Measure ER passes, local shoppers and businesses pay more, and the city would have less local tax capacity for its own priorities.

City Council - May 11, 2026
Measure ER would add half a cent to the sales tax across Los Angeles County, including Palmdale, and the money wouldn't have to come back here proportionally. The council is worried about adding to an already high tax burden on lower-income households and leaving less room for locally controlled funding for roads, public safety, and parks.
