A PUSH TO GET A 7 YEAR SALES TAX INCREASE IN WATSONVILLE HAS FOUND SOME SUPPORT. WATSONVILLE UNITED RECEIVED 2 DONATIONS FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH. 1 FROM AN AREA BERRY PRODUCER AND THE OTHER FROM THE WATSONVILLE FIRE FIGHTERS UNION. If THE HALF CENT SALES TAX INITIATIVE MAKES IT ON TO THE JUNE 3RD BALLOT, AND IS APPROVED BY VOTERS, IT WOULD RAISE 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
