The compelling case for @SteveHiltonx in one read. "California Needs a Pro-Business Governor by @SteveHiltonx." https://t.co/0UMbV8ipMg via @WSJopinion
No, it's not the end of the world. The Local Taxpayer Protection Act merely restores the original language of Prop. 13. "Officials warn a California ballot proposal changing voting thresholds on local tax initiatives could cost San Jose millions." @hjta. https://t.co/Bwo1OnM3va
My column in @ocregister with our good friends at National Federation of Independent Business. United for the common good! "California small businesses and homeowners are uniting to save Prop. 13." @hjta. https://t.co/1vIOOX5d2Z
My column in SDUT about a couple of taxpayer victories. Don't give up on California just yet. "Opinion: Two welcome displays of tax sanity in San Diego." @hjta. https://t.co/3IIbCwnCdW
“Nobody’s asking the critical questions as to whether we’re getting the value for the existing dollar,” said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "Tax to bail out struggling Bay Area transit agencies appears headed to voters." https://t.co/C0Mq1qeOwe
Well, duh. "In 2022, LA voters approved a new tax on sales of the city’s most expensive properties. Opponents say it is making L.A.’s housing shortage worse." @hjta. https://t.co/7h1Vgun1kX via @WSJ
Gee, who would have thought that all that free stuff would attract drug addicts from other states to move to L.A.? "More Than Half of L.A.’s Homeless Are Not from L.A." @hjta. https://t.co/uKQTVNQL75
This is understandable given that there was never an initial determination of viability in 2008. "As high-speed rail cost estimate soars, state lawmakers move to hide information from taxpayers." @hjta. https://t.co/blyzMCifyr
Stunning. In light of the epidemic of fraud, California should be cutting taxes, not raising them. "The $1.3 billion frozen payment from the feds is a drop in California’s leaky Medicaid budget." @hjta. https://t.co/tLi3Qomj8l via @WSJopinion
The local newspaper editorial board has recognized what a sham the Contra Costa Measure B sales tax is.
Hopefully voters will finally realize that the constant refrain of "raise taxes or people will die" is BS.
California, are you paying attention? "Millionaires Leave If You Tax Them: New York's Millionaire Exodus Has Already Left New York's Government Nearly $12 Billion Poorer - Foundation - National Taxpayers Union." @hjta. https://t.co/qvt3JxCQYs
