Business groups wants to make it harder to raise taxes. Democrats want to make it harder for them to do that.
Now business interests are trying to change that. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are moving to stop them through legislation introduced by Assemblymember Chris Ward, D-San Diego.
That shouldn’t be a problem for ACA 13. Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, D-Hollister, has signed on as a co-author of the legislation. The proposal also has broad backing from labor unions, the League of California Cities, the California State Association of CountiesCritics of the Ward measure say it seeks to change the rules mid-game, along with throwing up a roadblock to limiting taxes. Opponents of the business proposal say the initiative takes away existing voter rights.
Vehicle miles traveled, known as VMT, is a policy increasingly put into use in various states that charges motorists based on how many miles they drive. There are at least a couple of other noteworthy provisions in the business initiative. The proposal would prohibit advisory votes on how new tax money should be spent from being on the same ballot as measures to raise those taxes.
“Due to the uncertainty of these factors, we cannot estimate the amount of reduced state revenue, but it could be substantial,” said an analysis of the initiative by the Legislative Analyst’s Office.
