SUPPORT RECISION OF SALES TAX INCREASE
Resolution Adopted July 29, 2001 by
The California Congress Of Republicans Board Of Directors

WHEREAS The Republicans in the Legislature fought to eliminate the pending 1/4 increase in the state sales tax, AND

WHEREAS Republican Legislators were able to at least get a modification of the trigger that causes the implementation of the sales tax increase but not its elimination, AND

WHEREAS The sales tax increase is a $1.2 billion burden on the tax payers of California, especially the low and moderate income families, AND

WHEREAS The diversion of these highway funds has created a backlog of new road construction and maintenance of the existing system,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That the Board of Directors of the California Congress of Republicans urges Governor Davis to rescind the sales tax increase and instead cut both unneeded programs and unfilled state jobs, AND

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That this Resolution be presented as a Resolution of this body at the next California Republican Party Convention for their consideration and adoption and place a copy of this Resolution in the official CCR Book of Resolutions.
