Can Measure G funds be taken by the State or used elsewhere?

No. All Measure G funds stay right here in Contra Costa County and can only be used for local community college facility improvements at Contra Costa College, Diablo Valley College, Los Medanos College, and the two campus centers. The State cannot take or redirect these funds for other purposes.

This local control is an important feature of the bond measure. Unlike state funding, which can be delayed, reduced, or redirected, Measure G provides a locally controlled and fiscally responsible funding source dedicated entirely to improving the community college campuses that serve nearly 50,000 local students each year. A yes vote on Measure G keeps taxpayer dollars in the community, invested directly in the students, workers, and families of Contra Costa County.

In addition to keeping funds local, Measure G requires strict oversight to ensure every dollar is spent as promised. An independent Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee monitors all expenditures, and regular independent financial audits provide an additional layer of transparency and accountability.
