Where did the Measure Y money go?
Measure Y was passed by city voters in 2006 to increase the local sales tax by one-half cent. The idea was that the increase would generate revenue for street paving and pothole repair, traffic congestion relief and public safety, among other things. But exactly how has the City of San Luis Obispo used the funds? City Manager Katie Lichtig will provide an update on how the City has used the revenue generated by the measure and share planned uses in the coming year.

More change than you might have noticed
Even though change happens slowly and isn’t always obvious, San Luis Obispo has experienced many changes in the past 15 years. And no one knows that better than KSBY Anchor Jeanette Trompeter. The Cal Poly graduate spent her first few years in broadcasting in SLO before moving to the Midwest 15 years ago. Now, she’s back and here to tell us how the city has changed, how broadcasting has changed and where she thinks broadcasting is headed.
