Budget figures for Measure Y.

The April 22 Full Disclosure, “Measure Y and the Oakland Budget
Mess,” used out-of-date figures to describe how much Measure Y produces
in annual revenues for the City of Oakland. According to Mayor Ron
Dellums’ 2009-11 budget, Measure Y, which pays for community policing,
some fire department services, and several anti-violence programs, is
expected to generate about $20 million in annual tax revenues for each
of the next two years — not about $12.5 million, as the story
stated.
