Issue Position: Taxation

Issue Position

I'm proud to be the only candidate for Assembly in our district endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. I won't accept any plan to alter Prop. 13 or raise taxes on already overburdened California taxpayers.

The current tax structure in California is burdensome and ineffective. High taxes drive businesses away, kill jobs, and ruin family finances. I will work to reduce the tax burden and stop the state from over-spending and stealing tax dollars from local governments.

The CDF Fire Tax that is being imposed as a result of the 2011-2012 budget is a boondoggle that will not result in any additional fire suppression/protection for North State residents. I support the efforts of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in bringing a lawsuit against the State as I believe this is an unconstitutional tax that should have required a 2/3 vote to be implemented. At the same time, I would work to repeal this tax in the Assembly.
