The Measure A2008 ordinance includes a transportation expenditure Mplan (Investment Plan) identifying various transportation projects and programs to be funded by the sales tax revenues. Approximately 60% of revenues to the County of Santa Barbara and the cities within the county as “Local Street and Transportation Improvement” funding to be expended on projects selected by city councils and the Board of Supervisors. The Authority may not spend more than 1% of sales tax funds for salaries and benefits (§ 29). Funds must be held in a separate account with interest spent only for the purposes allo- cated. A maximum annual appropriations limit of $200,000,000 is established beginning in 2010-2011. The ½-cent sales tax is estimated to generate $1,050,000,000 over 30 years. As much as we love our slurry seal, we would rather see the billion dollars stay in the pockets of Santa Barbarans. The argument here is that we reap the benefits from tourists that use the area. Last time I checked, I had to pay the sales tax year- round on everything I purchased. If policy makers were serious about only taxing “tourists,” they would exempt items those “tourists” are unlikely to purchase, like food, bills, cars, etc., but of course that would never cross their minds. Measure A money will be collected and used on ordinary upkeep so that the fat salaries, vacations, holidays, sick days, “personal days,” family leaves, maternity leaves, pensions, gold-plated medical, and other benefits being paid to government union employees can continue to expand. Let’s take a tax break for ourselves and vote a big “NO” on Measure A2008. Measure G, The Santa Barbara Telecommunications and Video Users’ Tax Reduction and Modernization Ordinance The new ordinance would reduce the rate of the UUT on these services from 6% to 5.75%. The modernized technical definitions in the Measure G ordinance would apply to all types of telecommunication regardless of whether the communication is intrastate, interstate, or international and regardless of the technology used to provide such communications. New telecommunication services would include paging, text messaging, and private communica- tion services (T-1 line). The new ordinance would not apply to charges for internet services, including digital downloads like music, games, and ring tones. Measure G would continue the existing City ordinance’s provisions for low income exemptions from the UUT. Measure G would not amend the City’s UUT on gas, electricity, water, waste water, or trash services. Here is another typically deceptive Measure proposed by the City. It claims a tax reduction of .25 percent (5.75 percent down from 6 percent), which is true.

  • The Atlas Collections
    THE ATLAS COLLECTIONS Dear Guests, Welcome to ATLAS - a labour of love that honours my grandfather, CS Hwang, the late founder of Parkview Group, and the beautiful space he created in which ATLAS resides. It is our hope that your experience at ATLAS reflects the passion and attention that has gone into every aspect of its creation. A grand and beautiful space, we invite you to unwind, enjoy, celebrate and indulge as our talented and dedicated ATLAS team makes you feel most welcome and at home. The ATLAS Collections feature two of the world’s most remarkable physical collections of Gin and Champagne. Building the ATLAS Collections was a monumental task which took over two years to curate and assemble. We are also delighted to feature a selection of rare and exceptional still wines and whiskies from my own family’s private cellar, which for the first time since its inception almost 40 years ago, has been opened especially for our guests at ATLAS. Building upon the modest collection of wines started by my grandfather, the Parkview Family Cellar found a permanent home in 1989 with the opening of the Parkview Group’s flagship property, Hong Kong Parkview. Initially consisting of a small collection of 50 bottles of right bank Bordeaux wines, the collection grew steadily under the stewardship of my uncle, George Wong, and his son Alex. By 2000, the collection was at 3,000 bottles and has now expanded beyond the right bank to other regions in France and the rest of the world. Currently, the collection stands at 50,000 bottles of fine wine and over 10,000 bottles of whiskey acquired through reputable merchants, auctions, and numerous trips to the wineries and distilleries where suppliers have now become close friends, ensuring that the family always has access to the finest and rarest bottles.
