Petition to Governor Newsom
The Tax Payer Deception Act is this generation’s Prop. 13
The Taxpayer Deception Act is a dangerous and existential threat to California.
Teachers, firefighters, nurses, and community organizations all OPPOSE this measure!
Corporations and big real estate want to avoid paying their fair share and overturn the will of voters.
This measure would…
Disempower Voters: Make it almost impossible for voters to raise revenue and pass ballot measures. Requires only 33% of voters to block the will of the majority on ALL tax measures.
Cut BILLIONS in Funding: Retroactively reverses 100+ ballot measures, totaling over $2 BILLION.
Create chaos: Exacerbate the deficit and create unbalanced budgets. Create easier pathways for conservatives to challenge revenue measures and sue to stop the collection of taxes.
Evolve staff and past interns protesting at UC Berkeley against their investment into Blackstone. (Blackstone is one of the CA Business Roundtable’s top donors)
Governor Newsom, we urge you to come out in vocal opposition to this conservative anti-tax measure, and support our communities’ ability to raise money for our public schools!
