Voters in Union City, California, approved Measure WW, which puts the tax on users of gas, electricity, video and telecommunications, in Tuesday's election. The vote was 57.76% in favor and 42.24% against as of Wednesday night. The tax is set to last for eight years and is projected to raise about $6 million annually for a variety of services including paramedic and fire services and support of older adults.
