RECOMMENDATION(S):
SUPPORT Governor Brown's ballot initiative that would protect counties’ realignment revenue and temporarily raise sales and some income tax rates, as recommended by Supervisors Federal D. Glover and John Gioia.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct impact to the County from supporting the Governor's initiative. However, a successful initiative will provide constitutional protections for Realignment funding, which will benefit the County.
BACKGROUND:
Counting on Californians to give him what the Legislature did not, on December 5, 2011 Governor Brown filed a ballot initiative that would protect counties’ realignment revenue and temporarily raise sales and some income tax rates.
