  Close the Tax Loophole With A Yes Vote on Prop 43

  Sep 22, 202649 min

  The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is fighting to protect California taxpayers from a loophole that's been exploited by special interests to raise taxes without a two-thirds vote. This episode delves into the world of Prop 43, a measure that aims to close this loophole and restore the original intent of Prop 13. Join Susan Shelley and Legislative Director Scott Kaufman as they discuss the intricacies of the ballot measure and its implications for California taxpayers. Prop 43 is a crucial measure that seeks to limit tax increases by requiring a two-thirds vote for local special taxes, regardless of how they're put on the ballot. The current loophole allows governments to use citizen initiatives to raise taxes without meeting the usual two-thirds requirement. This has led to a situation where taxpayers are being asked to foot the bill for services they may not even want or need. The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is fighting to close this loophole and ensure that taxpayers have a say in how their money is spent. The conversation also touches on the importance of Prop 13 and the need to protect it from further erosion. The association is working tirelessly to educate voters about the ballot measures and the impact they'll have on their wallets. With the November election just around the corner, it's essential to stay informed and make your voice heard. Join the conversation and learn more about Prop 43 and its significance for California taxpayers. Listen to this episode to understand the issues at stake and how you can make a difference.
