Californian can’t vote on tax increases. Another win for Newsom
This is what y’all have to look forward to when Newsom gets elected
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Supreme Court on Thursday sided with Gov. Gavin Newsom and removed a measure from the November ballot that would have made it harder to raise taxes, saying the change would have upended the way government works.
The measure would have required voters to approve any tax increase passed by the state Legislature. It also would have required all local tax increases to be approved by two-thirds of voters instead of a simple majority vote.
The biggest impact, however, was that the measure threatened to retroactively reverse most tax increases approved since Jan. 1, 2022. Local governments warned they would have lost billions of dollars in revenue that had previously been approved by voters. [color=red]It would have also threatened a tax increase on guns and ammunition that lawmakers approved last year to pay for various programs and free housing and free healthcare of illegals [color]
