Alameda County voters face a critical decision this November: Measure B. This parcel tax aims to pump $13 million annually into the Washington Township Health Care District, impacting Fremont, Newark, Union City, and parts of Hayward and Sunol. Proponents say it's vital for upgrading medical equipment, reducing ER wait times, and retaining qualified staff at Washington Hospital, now a Level Two Trauma Center serving 350,000 residents. With no official opposition filed, and a simple majority needed to pass, Measure B would cost property owners five cents per square foot annually until 2038—roughly $87 for most homeowners. How will this affect emergency care and your wallet? Learn about this, Measure W, and more on the ballot this fall.
