EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS!
Everyone has to be from somewhere, and the worldwide headquarters of the FlashReport is located here in Orange County, California. So I am exceptionally pleased to share with our readers that Orange County’s top two elected law enforcement leaders, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and Sheriff Sandra Hutchens, have both come out publicly agains the entire slate of meaures before voters on May 19, Propositions 1A-1F.
I am proud that these two are showing statewide leadership, and looking out for the interests of taxpayers, by opposing this terrible package of ballot measures.
Here is what they had to say:
District Attorney Tony Rackauckas
I categorically oppose these measures because they increase our taxes by $16 billion on top of the $12 billion dollar tax increase that the Legislature dumped on us just two months ago. This is all being done so that over all spending by the State can increase this year. In these tough economic times, families have had to make tough economic choices and to cut back on spending. I have had to cut my Office’s budget down to the bone. The State should do the same.
Sheriff Sandra Hutchens
I oppose all of the measures on the May 19 special election ballot. As Orange County’s Sheriff, I know that a vibrant private sector economy, that produces job opportunities for as many citizens as possible, helps create a safer community. By extending the tax increases passed by the legislature, I believe these ballot measures will further damage our state’s fragile economy and job market.
