STATEWIDE BALLOT MEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS
The HJTA Political Action Committee has taken positions on the following November ballot measures. Please continue to check this page for updates and additions to this list before you vote.
No on Proposition 29:
New regulations on kidney dialysis clinics
Voters have twice rejected the same proposal to put new and needless regulations on kidney dialysis clinics. This is the third try by a powerful labor union to impose new costs on these important medical service providers. Vote NO on 29.
No on Proposition 30:
Tax increase to pay for electric vehicle subsidies and charging stations
Taxes are too high in California, and Proposition 30 would make them even higher, raising the top tax rate on incomes over $2 million by 1.75%, to a new rate of 15.05%. The money would be spent mostly on subsidies for electric vehicles and new charging stations, but the damage from higher taxes would soon be felt by all Californians. As the L.A. Times reported in April, 40% of all California personal income taxes are paid by only about one-half of one percent of state tax filers. When many other states have an income tax of zero, California shouldn’t risk the fiscal damage that would result from driving even more taxpayers out of the state. Vote NO on 30.
LOCAL BALLOT MEASURE RECOMMENDATIONS
City of Los Angeles
No on Proposition SP:
Parks and recreational facilities parcel tax
This is another parcel tax for parks that will cost property owners $84.14 per 1,000 square feet of their home every year. The city should prioritize the current budget, not raise taxes again. Vote NO on SP. For more information: NoNewTaxes.net
No on Initiative Ordinance ULA:
Tax hike on real property transfers over $5 million
This is a tax increase on real estate sales that will cost up to 5.5% of the sale price of high-value properties such as apartment buildings, shopping centers, office buildings, restaurants and hotels, putting upward pressure on prices. The money will go to developers and organizations that plan to build homeless housing and provide related services. L.A. taxpayers have already agreed to two tax hikes for this purpose and the money has been wasted. Vote NO on ULA. For more information: NoNewTaxes.net
Sacramento County
No on Measure A:
Sales Tax Increase for Transportation Infrastructure
This sales tax increase of one-half percent was put on the ballot by a developer-backed group to raise $8.5 billion for certain transportation projects. It will raise the price of all taxable purchases. Vote NO Measure A.
Sutter County
No on Measure A:
A 1% General Sales Tax Increase for 9 years
Measure A is a 1% general sales tax increase on most purchases made in Sutter County for the next 9 years. Measure A will cost the average household around $600 per year and more as prices increase. Vote NO on Measure A. For more information: SutterCountySaysNo.com
