Turner will speak about the very real benefits Lake County will receive from the taxes now being collected under SB1, commonly known as the gas tax.
The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, or SB1, is a long-term transportation solution that provides new revenues for road safety improvements, filling potholes and repairing local streets, highways and bridges.
In year 2018-19 alone, an infusion of over $2.5 million will be allocated to Lake County. And over the next 10 years, the county will receive over $39.5 million.
Under Proposition 69 just passed in the June primary, this funding is constitutionally protected and guarantees transportation funds can only be used for transportation improvement purposes and not for other projects.
Turner understands the importance of these funds to our community and will what is at risk with repeal efforts under way.
Turner currently serves as the mayor of Lakeport. Raised as a Marine Corps brat, she has lived on both the East and West coasts, as well as abroad.
She earned her Bachelor of Arts in history from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, and her Masters in Public Administration from National University.
She has lived in Lake County since 2000, and all three of her children now attend Mendocino College.
Turner served seven years as assistant clerk to the Board of Supervisors and now works as a planner in the Community Development Department besides serving on Lakeport City Council.
She finds it fascinating to both work with the county and serve the public through the council in the city.
Turner participates with two League of California Cities legislative policy committees: environmental quality and community services. She is also president of the League's Redwood Empire Division.
Turner is eager to discuss the ways our community will benefit from SB1 revenues. Business leaders and working families from across the state oppose the repeal of SB1 legislation, because it would eliminate 68,000 good-paying jobs and wipe out $183 billion in economic investments as thousands of road construction projects are put to a stop.
