The Sales Tax Cometh
Posted by JimThe City Council approved by a 6 to 2 a measure to place a sales tax increase on the November ballot. Between this, the Tea Party and immigration this off year election is shaping up as high entertainment. Did I forget Sarah Palin? Oops.
Of course the Brown-Whitman race for governor will make the most headlines and that race of opposites will be high politics. In the end, the winner will be just as hamstrung as the current boss. California politics is mired in a structural coffin and without a Constitutional Convention the future smells like a perpetual stalemate.
Stay tuned after Labor Day.
