“California has the fourth-highest state and local tax burden in nation according to the Tax Foundation. Yet, my fellow citizens blithely approved 23 of 30 local government tax increases across the state in the June 4 elections. At the same time, they approved 42 of 55 proposed ballot initiatives to raise local government or school debt even though California has the highest total state and local government debt in the nation according to State Budget Solutions. In California, with no oversight and no transparency, regulatory agencies pass rules by the thousand and never measure if they actually work or worry about how much they cost.”
