BC, CA democrats trying to pass BILLIONS in illegal taxes... www3.signonsandiego.com their illegal tax increase plan: 1. remove general fund expenses from general fund. 2. add taxes (including increase in gas tax, 3/4% in sales tax, 2.5% "income tax surcharge", etc...) and call them fees. 3. the reason they think they can call them fees instead of taxes is because they directly pay money to specific expenses - remember the expenses they removed from the general fund? this is a blatant tax increase that requires a 2/3 majority, not a 1/2 +1 majority required to raise true fees, not taxes given the name fees by corrupt politicians who raised spending 40% in the last 5 years.
