THE TAXPAYER DECEPTION ACT:
DANGEROUS FOR CALIFORNIA
Attacks Voters' Rights
The Taxpayer Deception Act takes away the rights of local voters by making it harder for voters to pass measures their communities need, and by preventing local voters from passing advisory measures dictating how we want our tax dollars spent.
Cuts Billions from State & Local Services
According to the independent Legislative Analyst’s Office, this measure will force deep cuts to local public schools, public safety, programs to prevent homelessness, parks, libraries, and all local services.
Allows Big Real Estate to Avoid their Fair share
This ballot measure is a deceptive trick funded with millions of dollars from wealthy real estate developers and landlords. They want us to think this measure would help the average taxpayer, but these corporate special interests wrote this measure to create new loopholes that lower their taxes, help them avoid paying their fair share, and increase the tax burden on working families and small businesses.
