Los Angeles Leaders Rally Against ‘Taxpayer Protection Act’ Ahead of November Ballot

Concerns Mount Over Proposed Changes to Tax and Fee Regulations in Los Angeles

According to Audacy, Mayor Karen Bass and other important Americans in Los Angeles are warning everyone about a measure on the November ballot. They want Americans to vote “no” on the “Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act.” This measure, backed by business groups, wants to change how taxes and fees work for governments. Bass says if it passes, it could mean less money for things like schools and healthcare, making it hard for cities to help their residents.

Bass, along with City Council President Paul Krekorian and labor groups, talked about why they’re against this measure at a recent news conference. They say it could make it harder for the government to work well by making rules stricter for approving taxes and giving voters less say in how money gets spent. They also worry it could mess up existing funding for things like programs voters already approved and services paid for by fees.
