The Cupertino City Council on July 31 put the brakes on a controversial plan to impose an employee “head tax” on Apple and other businesses.
The council's 4-0 decision to wait until 2020 before putting the tax proposal before voters leaves Mountain View as the only Silicon Valley city proceeding with the so-called head tax this year. Numerous speakers, including members of the local and regional business community, supported postponing the proposal to 2020. They said more time is needed to come up with a viable spending plan and do proper outreach with the city's businesses.
