Highlights from California's End of Legislative Year (SPOILER ALERT, Higher Taxes $$$$$$)

in #government6 years ago

California closed out it's legislative year in "California Style".

Here are some of the highlights of this session:

  1. SB-1: increases gas taxes by approximately 20 Cents/gallon (Nov 1) and your vehicle license fees by an average of $100 (Jan 1st).

  2. Passed Cap N Tax which will increase gas by an additional 0.63 to 0.93 cents a gallon change and the taxes that go with it. So do the math.....(0.12 + 0.63 = 0.75/gallon + current $3.10/gallon = $3.85/gallon)!

  3. Proposed increase on a new tax every residence will pay for tap water in the State!

  4. A $3.46B parks bond to pay for parks in “disadvantaged communities” meaning Los Angeles. The debt service will be over $200 million a year. The good news is some money goes to help fix the Salton Sea which should have always been a State responsibility!

  5. Law to release any lifer (murder, rape , child molestation, etc.) who is 60 years old and has already spent 25 years in prison! Charles Manson would have qualified today and the Melendez brothers that murdered their parents could be released in about 12 years? What about victims?

  6. A new $10 charge on all residents living in Mobile home parks to address living condition enforcement in those parks? Why another tax on the poor?

  7. We picked an official dinosaur of the State of California. Really ? Yes!

  8. Tesla must either unionize with the United Auto Workers Union or forfeit State incentives to buy their electric cars! (Another Union Grab!)

  9. Reduce from a felony to a misdemeanor the purposeful intent to transmit the AIDS virus to a unknowing partner.

  10. Give preferential treatment to prisoners convicted of serious crimes that are less than 25 years old because their brains are not mature enough to understand right from wrong. (If their brains of don’t mature until 25, why do we allow them to vote at 18?)

  11. A bill introduced to require our true sex be omitted from drivers licenses.

  12. Free legal services for illegal immigrants. (Of course !!)

  13. Establish safe “injection zones” run by government to oversee people injecting heroin! (Yep, it passed!)

May consider forwarding so All Californians can be Proud of their Elected Officials....Nancy Pelosi?
