Sales, parcel tax measures still undecided

Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan released updated election results Tuesday evening, but the new ballot count still left two measures too close to call. Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

Nearly 400,000 ballots are still left to be counted from the Nov. 4 election, which drew what Logan projects will be the county's second-highest turnout in modern history.

If current counting trends hold, Logan said Measure R, a half-percent sales tax increase that would generate $40 billion for transportation projects, will pass, while Measure A, a Los Angeles city parcel tax that would generate $30 million annually to fund gang prevention and intervention programs, will fail.
