Call the Capitol now to stop a dangerous bill that WAIVES THE CAP ON SALES TAX INCREASES in two California counties!

Your help is needed now to stop a dangerous bill that WAIVES THE CAP ON SALES TAX INCREASES in two California counties, and more could be right behind them.

Assembly Bill 1768 would exempt two new sales taxes in Los Angeles and Contra Costa counties from the state law that CAPS local sales taxes at a total of 2% above the state sales tax rate of 7.25%.

That means no Californian should be paying a sales tax higher than 9.25%, but the sales tax is much higher in many places because the Legislature passes sneaky bills like AB 1768 to EXEMPT new sales tax increases from the cap.

Sales tax increases of 0.5% in L.A. County and 0.625% in Contra Costa County are on the June 2 ballot, but they CANNOT BE COLLECTED unless AB 1768 passes.

Please call your representative and urge a vote of NO on AB 1768. The bill is on the Assembly floor right now and the vote could take place tomorrow, May 14.

You can look up the name of your representative at findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov, or if you already know who represents you in the Assembly, you can find their office phone number on the list below. All phone numbers are in area code 916.

Please tell them that sales taxes are already too high - 11.25% in Lancaster and Palmdale! - and ask them to vote NO on AB 1768.

Thank you for help on this urgent matter.

Gratefully,

Jon Coupal

President, HJTA
