Deception, Fraud and a $16 Billion Tax Increase

Proposition 1A is a blatant attempt to raise all Californians' taxes to support continued overspending by Sacramento politicians.

DON'T BE DECEIVED by statements that this is a "SPENDING LIMIT" initiative. Sacramento politicians made a backroom "deal" to resolve the budget process with a tax increase that will cost the typical California family over $1,100. Now they are offering another “deal” they hope will fool voters.

What they are offering is a package of measures on the May 19 Special Election ballot that will confirm their tax increase budget. The lynchpin of their plans is Proposition 1A. This proposition is being promoted as a spending limit that will compel those under the Capitol dome to behave responsibly. This spending limit is a limit in name only because it will automatically go up as taxes are increased by the Legislature.
