California is not a low-tax state. Thankfully for Californians, there are no local income taxes. However, that soon may change.
Seven of the eleven members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors [1] are sponsoring a measure that will ask California lawmakers to allow a local income tax to fund “sanctuary city” policies. The measure was supposed to come up for a vote last Tuesday; however, the vote has been postponed for two weeks.
If you’re a middle class resident of California or San Francisco, your government is telling you that your wallet will be far better off elsewhere.
[1] San Francisco is both a city and county; instead of a city council, there’s a Board of Supervisors (the county equivalent).
