The League of California Cities, the umbrella organization for all 478 California cities, is sponsoring an initiative for the November 2004 ballot. The initiative is also being sponsored by the California Association of Special Districts and is endorsed by The Executive Committee of the California State Association of Counties. The purpose of this initiative is very simple: to allow voters to decide whether local tax funds should be taken, confiscated, shifted, diverted, or otherwise used to fund State government operations and responsibilities.
This initiative does not impose any new taxes. It does not take funds away from any other service or program. It will not restore what our communities have already lost. It will simply put voters in control to decide whether they want any more of their local taxes to go to State to balance their budget which were mismanaged during better financial times.
The measure is currently in the signature generation process which requires 1 million signatures to qualify for the ballot. Make sure you and your neighbors sign the petition.
