HJTA, Tea Party Patriots, Republicans, and AFP Crash the Party in Riverside
Governor Jerry Brown’s dog and pony show to Riverside County got muzzled yesterday, after protesters took to the streets to oppose the Governor’s massive tax increases.
As Jerry met with educators and a select group of hand-picked community leaders, a gaggle of protesters lined the curb outside to demand that he start telling the truth about the budget crisis. Grassroots activists from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, the Tea Party Patriots, and the California Republican Party all joined together to put a leash on the idea that any hardworking Californians are in the mood for a tax increase.
No doubt Jerry continued his same song and dance about how schools will be impacted unless legislators or voters agree to the largest state tax increase in state and U.S. history. But we wouldn’t know – the event was not open to the public, and not even open to the press – in fact, only one pool camera was allowed.
Good thing we had folks on the ground to bring you – the people – photos from outside the event.
The event took place at Arlanza Elementary School on Rutland Avenue in Riverside.
