48% : On July 19, San Diego City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera and Council President Pro tem Joe LaCava, announced they were withdrawing a proposed stormwater funding measure, citing "substantial changes" to ACA 1, a proposed state ballot measure which, if approved by voters, would have set the threshold for voter approval of local infrastructure funding at 55 percent.
