Although a budget has recently been passed, politicians failed to make the fundamental reforms that cut government waste, fraud and abuse.  More tax increases are already in the works and Senate Majority Leader Darrell Steinberg has made clear his intent to attack Proposition 13.

How to make yourself heard

Raising taxes requires a 2/3 vote.  This protects taxpayers from the problem of two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.  The Democratic legislators are all expected to support the tax increases, but they cannot go ahead with their plans without Republican support.  We need to urge the Republican legislators to stay strong.

All legislators claim to welcome input from citizens, so feel free to share your opinions with the Democratic politicians as well.  If you are a Democrat, be sure to tell them.
