SDCTA Opposes Proposition 38: Local Schools and Early Education Investment and Bond Debt Reduction Act
Proposition 38 would increase the state's personal income tax, making California the highest income taxed state in the country. Given the delicate nature of our state economy and the evidence of migration following tax increases in other states, compounding this problem with additional tax increases could have a negative effect on our attempt to attract businesses and create jobs. Rather than focus on reform efforts, such as pension reform, tax increases have been offered as a means to provide funding to services such as education.
