Cities, school and special districts in the East Bay have placed 32 measures on the Nov. 2 ballot, and most of them ask voters for money.

Whether voters will be in the mood to pay more taxes, even for schools, roads and police officers, remains to be seen. But in general, voters prefer hyper-local taxes because they can see where the money goes.

Here’s a round-up of the local ballot measures in Alameda and Contra Costa counties:
