Thanks for letting me know about Prop 32. I have been seeing Ads for and against it but wasn’t very familiar with the Proposition. Now I know which way to vote..Yes on 32, no on 30 and 38(By the way what are those propositions about)

30 is for Browns sales tax increase and also a tax increase for earners over 250K

38 Molly Monger proposition backed by the PTA is a tax increase for all over 48K for 12 years. This prop is the one I hate the most because the commercials don’t tell you it is a tax increase. Here is the link to it go to section 8 (on the right hand side) and it will show you how much tax you will pay. I would have to pay $1100.00

Tom McClintock on all the cal props.
More info on 32.
Public employee unions take a percentage of their members dues and send for political lobbying and campaign donations.
Their is an obscure federal law that members can withhold that % and donate to non-profits etc. It’s called in-kind contributions.
However, neither the unions nor the state tell the employees they can withhold that portion of their dues and pay in-kind.
a few years ago, “we” voted to not require the unions to tell the members about this., after the unions did a lot of misleading ads.
My wife withheld her political contribution because the union gave money to politicians who support abortion. It took the union 2 weeks to “find” the form and three officers tried to talk her out of it.
32 will require information and more employees will opt out if they don’t ;ike where the union spends their money.
I support prohibiting unions and contractors from donating to those who they negotiate their contracts with, but don’t know how to get it passed. The current system is merely a different form of bribery and the tax payers suffer.
