PROPOSITION 1A
HIGHER TAXES, MORE WASTE, A BIGGER BUDGET MESS

	HITS CALIFORNIA FAMILIES WITH $16 BILLION IN NEW SALES TAXES, INCOME TAXES AND CAR TAXES WHEN THEY CAN LEAST AFFORD IT. California is suffering the worst recession in modern history. Unemploy- ment and home foreclosures are at record levels. Businesses are closing or cutting back. Raising taxes by $16 billion will only make things worse.
	MAKES CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET MESS EVEN WORSE. Prop 1A would rewrite California’s constitution to include complex new budget formulas that won’t limit government spending or prevent new taxes. And it does nothing to combat government waste.
	WAS SLAPPED TOGETHER BY THE SAME POLITICIANS WHO CREATED CALIFORNIA’S $40 BILLION BUDGET DEFICIT. Prop 1A was thrown together at the last minute by the Governor and Legislature, without careful review or the benefit of public hearings. Instead of real reform, it’s a sham — just more window dressing that doesn’t fix the problem.
	OPPOSED by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, United Californians for Tax Reform, National Tax Limitation Committee President Lew Uhler and more than 20 taxpayer groups across California..

“ Join my fight to stop Prop 1A — a $16 billion tax hike
that makes an even bigger mess of California’s budget.”
