Somewhere to bitch about this

Dear Governor:

Obviously you didn't read my original email, since I clearly supported increasing taxes as a way to solve this budget crisis. I'm glad you read it closely since it's that kind of touch with the common man that gets people elected, or unelected.

As I said before, I'm not going to vote for you again. I did last time because I thought that you would support a middle ground for the state economy. Instead, you're attacking the poor and most needy, in the name of
the state. If you don't think that's what you are doing, you need to open your eyes.

I believe that the budget problem could be solved in two ways. 1. Addressing Prop 13, i.e. doing away with it. I'm tired of long-term owners getting preferential treatment when it comes to a common entity--land value. So
do away with it, and start taxing people for what their properties are ACTUALLY worth instead of their "last sale price". 2. This state sends far more money to Washington DC than they give us back. Let's just keep it and fix our problems that way. It's not like the Federal government will miss that 24 billion too much. But people on Medi-Cal, SSI, and Welfare sure will.

Thanks again for the form email. Try again, governor's office.

Sincerely,
Chris Espe
