Measure B, a parcel tax for South Alameda Countys Washington Township Health Care District, appears to have passed, with a majority of voters supporting the measure. The tax, a five-cent charge per square foot, is projected to generate $13 million annually for twelve years, funding improvements at Washington Hospital in Fremont. The hospital, a critical healthcare provider, will use the revenue to update equipment, reduce ER wait times, and ensure access to qualified medical professionals. Despite no formal opposition, at least 2,200 ballots remain uncounted, with results expected by Monday.
