Editorial Says Democrats Must Promote Tax Hike Plan
A Sacramento Bee editorial argues, "Now that the state budget is done, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) and other Democratic leaders must confront the hard task of persuading a rightly skeptical electorate to approve" a compromise tax hike initiative. The editorial states, "Brown and his allies will need to make certain that voters have a clear understanding of what lies ahead if they reject the $8.5 billion tax hike." It concludes, "Nothing on California's long November ballot will be more consequential for this state than the governor's tax measure."
