Proposition 21: State Parks Vehicle License Surcharge

Proposition 21 on the California ballot would add an $18 fee (err, tax) to vehicle license renewals to fund state parks. Shockingly, the California State Park Rangers Association is for the measure. The measure would help to fund the park system. As for boosting California’s economy (a claim of proponents), it would take money away from consumers. That’s a tax, and that does anything but help the economy. Well, it would help the economic situation of those employed at state parks….

No matter how you feel about the measure, remember to vote on November 2nd.
