McClintock on the Propositions

Here is Rep. McClintock's recommendations for the May 19th Special Election.

Prop 1A:

Extend the Tax Increases.  NO.  This is the fig leaf that hides certain deficiencies suffered by the legislators who caved into pressure for the biggest tax increase in California’s history.  This measure EXTENDS the tax increases for up to two ADDITIONAL years in exchange for a spending limit that doesn’t limit spending. The “spending limit” is laughable – it requires placing “unanticipated revenues” into a special fund that is then to be spent for a variety of additional purposes including education, debt service and health care.  And since all funds are interchangeable, this merely allows funds spent for one purpose to be shifted for another.  The bottom line: If you were against the tax increase, you’re against Prop. 1A.
