The compelling case for @SteveHiltonx in one read. "California Needs a Pro-Business Governor by @SteveHiltonx." https://t.co/0UMbV8ipMg via @WSJopinion

@EytanWallace @alex_lee Shouldn't they be working? @hjta.

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

Notice the deflection by Newsom. "California falls behind Texas in Fortune 500 ranking." @hjta. https://t.co/JkDesN7VUC

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

A worthy read. "An Inconvenient Environmental Truth." @hjta. https://t.co/LaittQfsiJ

“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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

"The check's in the mail;" "I am not a crook;" "I did not have sex with that woman;" The CA budget is balanced." You get the drift. @hjta.

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

Nice to see @EastBayTimes making the right call. @hjta.

[Marc Joffe @marcjoffe]

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.

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

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

California’s government gives new meaning to the phrase “nanny state” as Gov. Gavin Newsom introduces a diaper service. https://t.co/DX8pfVxE4E via @WSJopinion

[Jon Coupal @joncoupal]

Well, this is disturbing on so many levels. "Why Did California Award This Alleged Hamas Front $40 Million?" @hjta. https://t.co/CweYaAxPeB
