Initiative Enters Circulation to Make 1% Increase in Sales Tax Permanent

The California Teachers Association has proposed a measure to amend the California Constitution, making the "temporary" 1% tax increase a permanent statute. The measure also specifies that revenue from this tax would be exempt from "budget and spending regulations" spelled out in the current California Constitution. The Attorney General and Secretary of State have approved this measure for circulation as an official petition.
