 Measure P (1993 November) 

[Santa Cruz County.] Countywide Contingency Sales (Transaction and Use) Tax.

"If, and only if, Statewide Proposition 172 is not approved by the voters of California, shall the County of Santa Cruz continue the existing level of sales tax in order to support local government services including those of the County District Attorney, County Sheriff, County Probation Officer, County Fire Protection Services, and other public services for the general good of the citizenry by levying, within the boundaries of Santa Cruz County, a 1/2 percent local sales tax to replace an existing 1/2 percent State sales tax?"  

Measure P did receive a majority, and was passed, but did not take effect because Proposition 172 was approved by the state and county voters.
