Within minutes of that measure being chaptered, the paperwork will be filed with the Secretary of State to referend it. This will automatically suspend the act for 90 days.

He's doing it now, but a bit differently. He couldn't do it until the car tax was imposed. It's been imposed, and Tom has followed through. You bad mouth him for not doing something that wasn't possible to do yet. As soon as it was possible, he did it in spades.

He's gone the route of initiative instead of referendum. A referendum could only appeal the car tax, leaving it where it would have been before the increase.

The initiative is a constitutional provision that not only repeals the car tax increase, but reapeals the car tax ALTOGETHER. It punishes the politicians for messing with it in the first place.

Tom has not only followed through on his promise, he has improved it.

You shouldn't make these kinds of statements when you don't understand the process.

I know thw process. I said he tipped his hand. Meaning he should have kept his mouth shut and hit them with the referendum AFTER it was law. He warned them and they made it referendum proof.

My fees have tripled. Sacramento has my money.
