Taxes / Budget I strongly oppose the 1.4 billion Measure E tax increase. Now is not the time to saddle local taxpayers with higher taxes and higher prices for gas, food and everything they buy. Fresno State University is a state facility and it is the Legislature’s responsibility to fund its repairs and needs. Let’s not punish Fresno County taxpayers for Sacramento’s failures. Environment / Energy We also need to repeal AB 32 – the cap and trade bill that continues to harm California’s economy. Instead of banning fossil fuels like Gavin Newsom is trying to do, we should embrace the technology that makes them cleaner and more efficient. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Let’s start by repealing Propositions 47 and 57 and AB109. These measures were sold as being pro-public safety, but the truth is the opposite – they have made us less safe. Environment / Energy Our economy in the Valley depends on water. The state has been negligent in addressing the water needs of our people. We need to build, upgrade and repair water storage and delivery systems. Taxes / Budget California has the highest taxes, most regulations and highest use of this environmental review designed to stop development. We can get back on track by suspending CEQA for five years and decreasing taxes on job creators, giving them an incentive to stay here instead of moving to other states.
