All told, supporters of Measure EE have raised $2.075 million. Opponents, a coalition of business and anti-tax groups, have raised $559,000. Although the “yes” side has raised more money so far, supporters of the tax also may have the heavier lift: They have to persuade two-thirds of voters to back the levy. It’s generally more difficult to pass tax measures in low-turnout special elections.
