Re: “Endorsements Part IV: Vote Barbara Parker, Jody London, and Sheryl Walton”
Measure J will be paid for by people who pay property taxes. I'm seeing figures of $60 per 100k of property value. I own a house in Oakland but have no income; it would cost me hundreds of dollars more than the taxes that already cost me about 1/3 of my annual expenditures. I can't afford this!
I see that Jerry Brown wants me to tax myself for his measure 30. I also see he's endorsed Ignacio De La Fuente who is clearly scum. So why should I trust him on anything else?
I keep thinking I should just vote against all the taxes. There's no place for me to get the money to pay them with!
