As many FR readers know one of my hats is as Chair of the CRP Initiatives Committee. I got a call yesterday, after I explained the rumors floating about a referendum should the Democrats and Governor agree on an extra-constitutional majority vote that raises taxes by calling them fees.
I was officially asked by State Senator George Runner to add this item to the CRP Initiatives Committee agenda at the Feb. CRP Convention should such a fee bill be passed. Runner has been working closely with taxpayer groups including the California arm of Americans For Prosperity to lay the groundwork should a referendum be needed.
There is also a Facebook page about stopping the car tax increase part of the proposed deal.
This clearly is a line in the sand. Failure would mean no business, no service and literally no ones pocketbook will be safe. We would live in fear wondering if we were next to be taxed, I mean feeed to death.
For those who emailed me, my kids like the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I will be in Sacramento today, if you feel like donating. Payment of the states money problemswith an illegal tax increase is not an option.
