California Governor Gavin Newsom proposed his first budget for the state on Friday, and it includes a tax on drinking water.
The budget, titled “California for All,” declares drinking water a “fundamental right,” and adds: “The Budget includes short-term measures to bring immediate relief to communities without safe drinking water and also proposes an ongoing sustainable funding source to address this problem into the future.”
The San Francisco Chronicle notes: “The details of the proposed tax are unknown, but a similar proposal was abandoned by then-Governor Jerry Brown last year after failing to garner enough support in the legislature.”

It is time for the Yellow Vest revolution in California. Start is NOW!! That is what France is all about!! ( now also Britain, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany and Malaysia. ) This is exploding and it is all about ant sovereignty and Climate crap. top it with PEOPLE in the streets.Drive Newsome into HIDING!!
...next tax on pee, coming and going..
It’s to help the poor, because poor people don’t drink water.
Didn't Californians vote against repealing the State Assembly's gas tax hike just a couple of months ago, while the French rioted (Yellow Vests) over higher gas taxes in their country? Makes you think.
Thought Brown was bad? Fasten your seatbelts.
Tax on a “fundamental right “? Sheer lunacy.
“short-term measures..”
No tax is temporary.
What’s he doing about the bum onslaught?
Nothing.
I thought so.
Heh, it will be an interesting time to watch an entire state of the union dissolve. I had thought Illinois would go first, but Mexifornia is clearly getting into the “last 100 yard” sprint.
If drinking water is a fundamental right, how does he justify taxing it?
It’s hard to feel sorry for anyone in California. Not impossible, just really, really, hard.

I live in Cali.
Tick it over to the impossible column. We let it happen. This is on us.
LOL - for sure :-)
Does California have a flush tax on toilets like Maryland does?
Amazing how so many Democrats conclude their main problem is that their sheeple are undertaxed .
Leftists are always adding things to the long list of entitlements. They talk about “Healthcare as a right.” Slowly, everything in life is being added to the list.
Already on it:
Money, housing, cellphone, food, TV, Cable, transportation.
About to be added: guaranteed annual income for all. Free college. Drinking water. Job. Citizenship. Pension.
The end goal of all this is total and complete control of the means of production by the collectivity, I.E. communism.
