Even the CA libtards would have gone yellow jackets over this.
Bump
Why do they feel bound by the state constitution?
The idea of taxing texts will very likely come back in the near future. It was dropped like a hot potato for now, sort of like Macron reducing newly raised taxes in France. Anything to let the citizens simmer down and start looking elsewhere.
The notion of increasing the number of Toll Roads or taxing as per miles driven resurfaces every so often too.
Just another colorful trial balloon shot down for the time being by observant taxpayers.
FCC’s ruling that text messages were an ‘information service’ as opposed to a telecommunications service
Well, well, well, you mean the sanctuary state can’t confiscate more wealth to redistribute to people who have not earned it, and don’t deserve it? what a damn shame.
No, the California voters are fine with anything bordering stupidity.
The legislature will probably make the Text tax a ballot measure like they did freeing prisoners.
The voters also just approved keeping their insane gas tax.
There is no low bar for these fools.
The commission won’t always have a conservative majority. When that changes, and it probably will some day, look out.
Well thats it then, they better change the law. Cant let that revenue stream get away.
Politicians love it when they make businesses their tax collection arm.
There is a hidden tax or more than one tax on everything. The government makes more off your cell phone line than Verision does. Same with a pack of cigarettes.
This is almost funny.
It's not gone. Be suspicious, my good FRiends, that the Dems in the legislature might already drafting the wording for a sneaky text tax. They could name it something different, say...
The "communication fairness fund", or something similarly deceitful...
and, it could be a tax on the providers, so the easily fooled Dem voters somehow won't connect the two, simple dots on why their service costs went way up.

Nah, they’re conforming a-holes.
“The commission’s controversial ‘text tax’ plans involved a per-text surcharge which would help fund programs that provide cell phone services for low-income and disabled people, as well as those in rural areas, according to Fox News.”
Providers of ObummerPhones hardest hit.
I remember when CA floated redistribution of 401k plans.
It died about a week later.
Elected Democrats will change the law. This is merely a slight delay to get more income from us.
