✔ Yes on Proposition 26 in November 02, 2010 California Election 3:05AM Sep 01, 2010

Cal-Tax Position: SUPPORT. Proposition 26 protects Californians from hidden taxes by stopping state and local government from disguising taxes as “fees” to get around the two-thirds vote requirement for tax increases. The initiative strengthens the legal definition of a tax, places the burden of proof regarding whether an exaction is a tax or a fee on the government rather than the taxpayer, and continues to allow for legitimate user fees to be approved by a majority vote.

Cal-Tax urges you to vote YES on Proposition 26 to define a tax so the Legislature and local governments can no longer circumvent the state constitution’s restrictions on taxes simply by disguising them as “fees.”
