People should also note: There is no amount of tax revenue that will satiate the California state government. None.
The only tax increase I'd vote for is a 50% tax on state pensions of amounts over $75k/year. i.e.: a clawback
Why don't that just quadruple everyone's water bill instead, like Baltimore City did. That way it's not a "tax increase"???

The California Legislature is back in session. That means more chances for them to raise your taxes. As early as tomorrow the California State Assembly could vote on ACA 1 which would make it easier to raise property tax bills by lowering the current two-thirds vote threshold to approve local property taxes. This is a direct attack on Prop 13, California’s landmark taxpayer protection law. WE HAVE TO STOP THIS.
ACA 1 – is not only a direct attack on Proposition 13, it also goes against the will of the people. Time and time again, Californians have overwhelmingly voted against measures to decrease the vote threshold for property taxes.
California’s economy is booming, leading to record reserves. With the state experiencing increased revenue, and local governments receiving increased revenue from the traditional property tax, now is not the time to make it easier to raise taxes or raise taxes!
