SACRAMENTO - Today, Assemblymembers Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin) and Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale) issued the following statements in response to the failure of ACA 1, which would have weakened Prop. 13’s taxpayer protections by lowering the voter approval threshold for local tax increases from two-thirds to 55%:
“ACA 1 reinforces the false idea that every problem can be solved with more government spending,” said Kiley. “Today’s vote was a win for California taxpayers and families.”
“This was a victory for taxpayers struggling to afford life in California, but the fight isn’t over,” said Lackey. “The middle class is being driven out of our state because of the high cost of living. I’ll continue to oppose legislation like ACA 1 that will make the affordability crisis even worse.”
