SDCTA Opposes Senate Bill 653
SDCTA recently sent a letter of OPPOSITION to Senate Bill 653 (Steinberg) to the San Diego State Delegation. SB 653 would authorize counties and school districts to impose personal income taxes, local-level vehicle taxes, and a broad array of excise taxes, and to increase sales taxes in excess of the existing limits. Rather than making statewide reforms, reducing expenses, and implementing efficiencies, the State is instead focusing its efforts on ways to make it easier to either implement or increase a multitude of taxes that would increase the cost of living and doing business in California.
