The California
Taxpayers' Association Board of Directors voted last week to take positions on
three of the statewide measures that will appear on the May 19 ballot. In
addition to the budget reform measure Proposition
1A, which the association previously endorsed, Cal-Tax supports:
·
Proposition 1D, to reallocate funds from the Proposition 10
tobacco tax, in order to use currently idle funds for medical programs that
serve children.
·
Proposition 1E, to reallocate funds from the Proposition 63
income tax increase, in order to use currently idle funds for mental health
programs that help children and young adults.
·
Proposition 1F, to prohibit state elected officials from
being awarded with pay raises when the state
government is running a deficit.
The Cal-Tax board
voted not to take a position on Proposition 1B, which would earmark billions in
state funds for education, or Proposition 1C, which would authorize the state
to securitize and modernize the lottery.
