Attacks Voters' Rights

Cuts Billions from State &amp; Local Services

Allows Big Real Estate to Avoid their Fair share

The Local Taxpayer Deception Act wasn’t written for you. It was bankrolled by corporate real estate interests who spent millions to put this measure on the ballot. If it passes: they pay less on high-value property sales – and you pick up the tab in cuts to education, fire protection, homeless services, and community programs your family depends on. They win. You lose.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Bottom Line</h2>The Local Taxpayer Deception Act is exactly what the name says: a deception. It’s a giveaway to wealthy real estate corporations dressed up as taxpayer relief. It cuts billions from local governments, overrides the will of California voters, and makes our state’s biggest crises worse — all so a handful of corporate special interests can avoid paying their fair share.<h1>Vote NO.</h1>

About The Local Taxpayer Deception Act

Take Action

<h2 style="text-align: center;">It’s a Tax Giveaway — Not a Taxpayer Protection</h2>Don’t be fooled. This measure doesn’t cut taxes for working families or small businesses. It was written by and for corporate real estate interests to eliminate taxes on high-value property sales — the kind of transactions that only affect and benefit big real estate developers and wealthy landlords, not everyday Californians.These same corporate interests spent millions to put this measure on the ballot. If it passes, they pay less. Local communities pay more — in the form of cuts to the services we all depend on.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">It Attacks Voters' Rights</h2>For decades, California communities have had the right to make our own decisions at the ballot box about how we spend our own money in our own communities. The Local Taxpayer Deception Act takes that right away.By requiring a two-thirds supermajority to pass locally-proposed taxes, this measure gives a minority of voters the power to veto the will of the majority — blocking investments in schools, fire protection, homelessness solutions, and the community that most Californians support.And it goes further: it would overturn tax measures that California voters have already approved — erasing democratic decisions communities made in good faith.

<h3>Are you passionate about fighting the Taxpayer Deception Act?</h3>We need your help! We are looking for individuals from across our broad and diverse coalition who can speak about this destructive measure to their family members, coworkers, local political clubs, parent-teacher associations and other community organizations about why our campaign is urging Californians to vote NO in November.Our first two online trainings will be in June: <ul><li>Thursday, June 6 - 5-8 pm</li><li>Saturday, June 8 - 9:30 am - 12:30 pm</li></ul>Sign up to join a training!

Measure’s Qualification Overshadowed by Recent PPIC Poll Showing Overwhelming Opposition by Likely Voters with 57% saying NO to the Local Taxpayer Deception ActSACRAMENTO, CA – Communities across California are at risk of losing billions of dollars for vital services like emergency response, parks, and even child care as real estate corporations qualify their Local Taxpayer Deception Act&nbsp;for the November ballot.&nbsp;If passed, the Local Taxpayer Deception Act would create loopholes allowing the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share; and it would retroactively overturn voter-approved ballot measures already in place – forcing deep cuts to emergency response, affordable housing, homelessness services, and public safety."The Local Taxpayer Deception Act is a direct assault on the ability of local governments to fund the fire protection, emergency response, and public safety services that Californians depend on," said Brian K. Rice, President, California Professional Firefighters. "This reckless measure would strip billions from the communities we serve — and California's firefighters will work tirelessly between now and November to make sure voters know exactly who is behind it and what it would cost them.""This measure is an affront to everything Californians have fought for and everything we stand for," said Arnulfo De La Cruz, President of SEIU California and SEIU Local 2015. "For generations, California voters have won and defended the right to determine how their communities are funded and governed. The Local Taxpayer Deception Act doesn't just threaten public services — it goes after the voters themselves, stripping them of the democratic tools they have used to build a more just California and violating the core democratic principle of majority rule. We will not let that stand."###
